I was curious to know if anyone had been auditing Yale University's free online courses through the Open Yale project?
I spent the last week on Frontiers and Controversies in Astrophysics which examines three areas of modern research - exoplanets, black holes and dark energy. The exoplanet section is especially worthwhile - though the course was from 2008. Prof. Bailyn explains the methodology and maths behind the hunt for planets outside our solar system.
This week, I've almost completed their survey of The Early Middle Ages (284 - 1000) which chronicles the conversion of Europe to Christianity; the fall of the Western Empire; the rise of the Frankish Kingdoms under the Merovingians; the rise and conquests of Islam and the accompanying shift of Western civilization from the Mediterranean to Central and northern Europe; the rise of Charles Martel, the Carolingians and Charlemagne; and I think the last section covers the Viking Age.
