I'm sure alot of you have heard about it, but a search on VBF didn't return any threads.

For those that haven't; MIT offers their Literature, Lecture Notes, Exams, Examples and such for alot of their courses. You can select from the different "majors" on the left side of the web page:

They made it very clear that completing the exams or following the coursework doesn't grant you any aknowledgement, certification or degree from MIT. Sorry.
