Resources


                              There is almost everything about this subject is on the web. We are living in an era where information is at our finger tips. Every thing you need is just a mouse click away. As far as I am concerned the most important categories of resources are given below.

1. Opencourseware

                              The idea is to make information free to all. Anybody who wants to learn can do this via WWW. Top Universities and Institutions realized about this and went online years ago. That is what simply called Opencourseware.

                               Not only electronic science, it contains courses about all subjects by best faculties and passionate educators in the world. There you can get video/audio lectures, practice problems, discussion forums..etc. The top opencoursewares I could find are

                              U


2. E books and Google Docs  

                              If you are good at searching internet you can find almost any book in digital form but the only problem is about copy right. Another way is Google docs, even though it allows only to preview some pages I find it still useful. Especially in the case of competitive exam books.

3. YouTube

                             Sites like YouTube contains short and interesting videos from passionate individuals all around the world.
