Found this via a link from today's xkcd What-If? entry.



There's a link to lecture notes on the rocket equation from a course on Dynamics. Some digging around led me here where I found lecture notes to over seventy MIT courses:

Will: See, the sad thing about a guy like you is in fifty years you're gonna start doing some thinking on your own and you're gonna come up with the fact that there are two certainties in life. One, don't do that. And Two, you dropped a hundred and fifty grand on a fuckin' education you coulda got for a dollar fifty in late chahges at the public library.

4. One of the BEST Lit professors I ever had . . .

(and I was allowed a lot of independent study with whomever would let me sign up) was a brilliant old guy who used to say that a good broad habit of reading is more valuable than a college education. Of course, at the time I doubted that, being a student and all, but now that it seems post-secondary education has become little more than business certificate factories of one type or another, I agree with Dr. Lawson completely.
