Lecture 1 | The Fourier Transforms and its Applications

I don't understand the point of these videos and why bother forcing people to pay thousands of dollars for tuition when I could buy the books for a few hundred and learn them. Whats the difference? The professor is passive, you do not interact with him! I'd rather pay a small fee to do tests that certify that I know the material. Why waste hours listening to a lecture? Learning is done by action! Solve problems on your own. The academic system is horribly flawed.

If you are that serious about that which you speak, i do not believe you would be asking such questions. It is possible to follow the path of wolfram if you are indeed a prodigy.

what about labs?

@barcodekillers You must be Einstein to understand everything fast enough just by your own with no help at all...

I do agree though that the help is sometime too expensive.
This guy is good.

is this BS course or masters??

I like him a lot better than MIT's Diff.Eq. lecturer who is monotonous and boring. Osgood is a natural speed freek which I like. The pace keeps your brain moving instead of nodding into la la land.

what a stuck-up person....they may try to copy MIT, but Stanford, you're no MIT!

show some humility..!!

(i have no affiliation with MIT)

take a chill pill

Dear Master Osgood,
I just have to thank you for the great job you did in this course.
Very nice, clear, and understandable.
Made everything easy.
Best Regards
