Last week of part 2 will be about one of the topics chosen by "popular demand". Elliptic curve cryptography is on the list. How about ganging up to demand that?

How do we make that request?

I'm taking a stab at this. It looks like fun.

I'm assuming in the forum.

I see people mentioning it is difficult, is International Baccalaureate Higher Level Mathematics enough?

Totally awesome, just signed up. Thanks a lot for posting!

Before beginning, get a good understanding of set notation. Just a heads up

MIT also does this, for 'honourary' credit, or if you just want to self learn google the course name like 6.002 and check the calendar. All video lectures and assignments are there free.

If your math sucks just look up precalculus on youtube or khanacademy.org

So far it's High School math in week one.

Yep. Even if you can't see something right away, you can pause the video and figure it out in a few minutes. I guess the wikibook and the pdf provided have all answers you might need.

There are so many classes I want to take there but I have none of the prerequisites nor the time for them... I feel like ditching high school, taking GED test, and going to a university right now.

If you do this make sure you finish your university classes.
Being really smart with a GED only is pretty f**** up. I should know.

That is pretty awesome! I also like how probably half of all the participants would come from the BTC community
