The Teaching Company produces an excellent line of educational lectures on tape/CD/DVD. I'm a very satisfied customer. Their biology series has taught me an immense amount: the lecturer is organized and concise, and it's never boring.

The only catch is that most of the time these lecture sets are painfully expensive. They make sure to put each course on sale at least once a year, doing a large production run and passing the savings along. The discounts are deep on these sales. Unless you are in a hurry, there's no powerful incentive to pay full price for any of these.

Another thing they do once a year is put all of their science and mathematics courses on sale for three days. That starts now.

Head on over!

I'm picking up statistics this time around. I've never had a formal stats course. (Probability theory, yes, although I can't remember where. Statistics, no.)
