Herb Gross! Love that series. Brings me back to my old days. I actually wrote him an email and he wrote back so kindly
>>
Thank you for taking the time to write to me. It is greatly appreciated. I am extremely pleased that work I did over 40 years ago is now available to help others. I hope you will keep me posted on your progress.
I wish I could be more helpful to you. However you might find it a bit strange to know that the five years I spent at MIT were a pleasant diversion from my career work. More specifically the rest of my teaching career was spent in helping “math phobic” adult learners at community colleges and in prisons learn to cope successfully with arithmetic and basic algebra.
I retired at the age of 75 in 2003 so that I could develop my own website where I am posting my videos, power point presentations and other written material in arithmetic and algebra for anyone to use free of charge. In fact I would be delighted if you found time to look at it and let me know what you think about it. You should feel free to comment in my guestbook if you so desire.
The bad news is that I have virtually no knowledge in the areas of more advanced mathematics. However part 3 of Calculus Revisited which was just posted last week by OCW does have introductory lectures in differential equations, complex variables and linear algebra.
I wish I could be more helpful to you but my hope is that the material that is posted on OCW will give you a good background in your pursuit of higher mathematics knowledge.
I wish you the very best and look forward to hearing from you again, especially if you ever feel that my input can be of help to you.
