How to take a course at MIT free -- at home - Eleanor Chute, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
You may not have the grades, the money or even the means to get to a physics class with one of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's best lecturers. But if you have an Internet connection anywhere in the world, you can watch an online learning video of the Dutch-born physics professor, Walter Lewin, swinging on a cable across the front of a lecture hall in his "Classical Mechanics" course to demonstrate that weight doesn't affect the time it takes a pendulum to complete a cycle of motion. And you can do this for free.
