New resources for learning about differential equations

Students often ask me how they can start to learn about scientific computing.

I normally tell them to do what I did - start with a problem that they are interested in (maybe one that they are working on?) and begin to tinker. Here's how that worked out ...



But I realize that there are probably better approaches. For example, many people now like to learn by watching videos and tutorials.

This blog post caught my eye this morning and the videos, lectures, and online material look super interesting. I hope to give these courses a try myself.
