Scott Young - My 10 favorite free online classes

Justice – Michael Sandel (Harvard)
Physics – Walter Lewin (MIT)
Learning How to Learn – Terrence Sejnowski and Barbara Oakley (UCSD)
Machine Learning – Andrew Ng (Stanford)
Quantum Mechanics – Richard Feynman
Medical Neuroscience – Leonard White (Duke)
Organic Chemistry – Michael McBride (Yale)
Immunology – Alma Novotny (Rice)
World History – John Green (Crash Course
Microeconomics – Tyler Cowen and Alex Tabbarock (MRU)
Nonlinear Dynamics and Chaos by Steven Strogatz – The math behind the Butterfly Effect and why reality can be inherently unpredictable.
Systems Biology by Uri Alon – Fascinating machinery of human cells, from gene regulation to why we get Type II diabetes.
Programming Paradigms by Jerry Cain – One of my first-ever online courses. Part of the impetus to do the MIT Challenge.
Intro Biology by Eric Lander – Great lectures on biology, especially those taught by Lander. The only annoyance is that this course is stitched together from multiple segments rather than complete lectures. Nonetheless, the sections on genetics are really well done.
Poker Theory and Analytics by Kevin Desmond – Fun class on the math behind poker betting. I took this when working on a poker programming project.
Being and Time by Hubert Dreyfus – Dreyfus has a ton of audio-only courses on Contintental philosophers. His one on Heidegger is the best.

The Self Educating Child

General Science

Vsauce (which has grown to include Vsauce2 and Vsauce3)
Physics Girl (fun to watch explorations of a wide range of real-world physics and science things)
Thought Emporium (gene editing through both chemical methods and DNA 3-d printers! And art too)
Scott Manley (a charming Scottish Astrophysist / Apple engineer with hundreds of great videos on the Kerbal Space Program simulation game, plus now detailed coverage on space and astrophysics)
Anton Petrov – daily videos on new discoveries in science (and a fun look at current events from a science perspective too)
Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell Short but intelligent summaries of all sorts of neat things, featuring a dynamic British narrator and fun cartoony graphics.
Deep Dive – a relatively new but very promising channel with great big-issue science videos. We are hoping they put out more!
Stratzenblitz75 Kerbal Space program videos with nice lessons on the science behind them (like orbital mechanics)
Wendover Productions – neat explanations of wide-ranging things, (including transportation logistics!)

Inventions and Building Stuff

Colin Furze – crazy, energetic, brilliant videos about building things like a home-made hoverbike, two story bicycle, giant mech robot suit.
Simone Giertz – a super clever and witty engineer/builder, perhaps most famous for her DIY conversion of a Tesla model 3 into a badass mini pickup truck.
Wintergatan– a hauntingly genius, gentle dude in Sweden who works on a beautiful “marble machine” musical instrument and so many other things. Awesome musician too!
Mark Rober (a former Nasa engineer who now makes really fun videos about his complicated and whimsical inventions – best known for the “glitter bomb” anti-theft devices)
Styropyro (guy who makes crazy powerful lasers, etc.)

Video creation, 3D Animation and Youtubing Strategy

Lazy Tutorials (Ian Huber teaches you 3-D animation with Blender at the speed of thought). He also maintains the Default Cube channel.
Blender Guru– personable, easy to watch in-depth blender tutorials
CG Matter – fast, advanced Blender tutorials
CG Geek – longer, more detailed Blender tutorials
Captain Disillusion (video editing and special effects – this man puts a lot of work into each of his super-entertaining videos)
Daniel Krafft – useful blender tips and tutorials
Iridesium – tutorials on how to create movie-quality special effects in Blender

Coding and Artificial Intelligence

Two Minute Papers (AI) – super smart guy summarizes academic papers in the Artificial Intelligence field in a really interesting and easy to understand way, with visual examples.
Code Bullet (AI) – Software developer incorporates machine learning/AI into his own code and demonstrates the results in a wide variety of contexts.
Carykh – AI and building some interesting apps including the famous “size of the universe” interactive
Sebastian Lague – The Bob Ross of coding, this young gentleman walks us peacefully through a fun series of iterative improvements on a variety of advanced programming projects.
CodeParade – great bits of coding, math, and graphics combined

Math

Vi Hart – the original “Mathemusician”, Vi’s soulfully brilliant explanations of math concepts are great for small kids and adults alike.
Zach Star – math puzzles and other interesting stuff
Numberphile – another fun math channel – sometimes with fun visuals and special guest experts.

History, English, Etc.

Tom Scott – Linguistics and various travel and geography stories
History of the Earth – the History Brothers cover multimillion year periods of our planet’s history
Half as Interesting – light-hearted tidbids of English history and other things

Music

Andrew Huang – so clever, so energetic, so talented, and teaches you SO much about music! (his own songs are great too, as are his youtube buddies)
Roomie Official – fun to watch, educational, and a ridiculously good and versatile singer.
Davie504 – an amazing bass player, and fellow bass enthusiasts might learn a few things too.
Adam Neely – fantastic music theory and neat analysis of existing stuff.
AU5 – one of my favorite emerging electronic music artists, who also teaches you how to make the stuff in Ableton and related tools

Statistics – seeing the world around us clearly and understanding nuance, analog results and taxometrics (learning how to sort like with like). Realizing that everyone and everything doesn’t fit into a simple box. Learning to see the danger of false labels and propaganda, and the power of seeing how things are actually distributed.

Games – finite and infinite, poker, algorithms, business structures, interpersonal relationships, negotiation, why they work and when they don’t. We all play them, even when they’re not called games.

Communication – listening and speaking, reading and writing, presentations, critical examination and empathy. Can you read for content? Can you write to be understood? Can you stand up and express yourself, and sit still and listen to someone else who is working to be heard? What happens when we realize that no one is exactly like us?

History and propaganda – what happened and how we talk about it. More why than when. The fundamental currents of human events over time.

Citizenship – Participating, leading, asking and answering good questions. As a voter, but also as a participant in any organization.

Real skills – Hard to measure things like honesty, perseverance, empathy, keeping promises, trust, charisma, curiosity, problem solving and humor.

The scientific method – understanding what we know and figuring out how to discover the next thing. Learning to do the reading and show your work. There’s no point in memorizing the Krebs Cycle.

Programming – thinking in ways that a computer can help you with. From Excel and Photoshop to C++.

Art – expressing yourself with passion and consistency and a point of view. Not because it’s your job, but because you can and because it matters. Appreciating the art that has come before and creating your own, in whatever form that takes.

Decision-making – using the rest of the skills above to make better choices.

Meta-cognition – thinking about thinking, creating habits with intention.

Contabilidade - Entender os registros contábeis de uma empresa ajuda a ter ideia da saúde dos negócios e entender se o papel está sendo negociado a um preço “justo” (ok, não pergunte o que é “preço justo” aos analistas, que terá uma discussão de horas e não chegará a resultado algum - o preço justo é o Santo Graal que todos procuram).

O curso online “Contabilidade Empresarial" da fundação Bradesco é um bom início: para iniciantes, tem 11 módulos e duração de 18 horas. 3 horas por semana e em menos de dois meses já terá uma ideia clara de como se virar no período de divulgação dos balanços das empresas de capital aberto.

Estatística - “Retornos passados não são garantia de retornos futuros” já deveria estar gravado no fundo do seu coração e da sua mente. Mas você tem ideia do que isso significa? Entender o básico de Estatística vai dar uma ideia melhor de como funcionam os retornos de um ativo e ter uma ideia melhor das métricas utilizadas para calcular retornos.

Criado a partir de uma disciplina da USP, o curso de Probabilidade e Raciocínio Lógico tem 28 aulas com duração de menos de meia hora cada e é ofertado pela Univesp (Universidade Virtual do Estado de São Paulo). As aulas estão todas disponíveis no YouTube, organizadas em uma playlist. A primeira aula pode ser acessada aqui.

Mercados Financeiros - Existe uma infinidade de cursos, a maioria cursos pagos, mas este aqui é um clássico dos clássicos, ministrado pelo prêmio Nobel Robert Shiller e derivado das aulas ministradas por ele na Universidade de Yale, o material foi editado para ficar mais didático e vem com exercícios para fixação de conteúdo.

Disponível na plataforma Coursera, o curso é em inglês com legendas em português e duração de aproximadamente 33 horas. 7 módulos, 1 por semana e ao completar o curso ainda ganha um certificado de conclusão do curso. Melhor que pagar curso de influencer para ter acesso ao mesmo conteúdo.

Criptomoedas - Curso para te livrar de piramideiros e entender de fato o que é tecnologia blockchain, o que são criptomoedas e criptoativos, mais um curso disponível no Coursera e ministrado por um fera. O curso Bitcoin e Tecnologias de Criptomoedas é lecionado por Arvind Narayanan, da Universidade de Princeton, em inglês mas com legendas em português.

O curso foi idealizado para durar 11 semanas, mas como cada bloco semanal tem cerca de 1 hora, é possível concluir em menos tempo. E, claro, ainda dá para descolar um certificado de conclusão no final.

Corporate Finance - Finanças Corporativas é a parte de finanças que lida com as diferentes formas de financiamento de uma empresa. Ter conhecimento sobre a área ajuda tanto para quem tem uma empresa quanto para quem está buscando entender mais as empresas nas quais investe como para conhecer investimentos alternativos.

Mais um do Coursera (gostamos bastante da plataforma), esse oferecido pela IESE Business School, “Fundamentos de Finanças Corporativas” está estruturado para durar 8 semanas, mas também é possível concluir bem antes disso. Após o curso básico, existe a opção de prosseguir para o curso intermediário. Boa pedida para conhecer mas o mercado financeiro, seja pela ótica de investidor ou pela ótica das empresas que tomam financiamento.
