Complex Variables, Differential Equations, and Linear Algebra is the third course in the Calculus Revisited series. The course consists of 20 Videos, 3 Study Guides, and a set of Supplementary Notes.
The series was first released in 1971 for people to review the essentials of calculus. It is equally valuable for students who are learning calculus for the first time.

New Resource: Entrepreneurship Course List

MIT has always been associated with major scientific and technological breakthroughs. But the breakthroughs alone do not explain the impact that MIT has had on the world. For that we have to look at entrepreneurship, which starts with the "Mens et Manus" (Mind and Hand) slogan on the Great Seal of MIT.
For faculty, students, and alumni, MIT is all about making discoveries and inventions and then applying these discoveries and inventions to solve real problems.
In a very tangible way, MIT faculty and graduates invent the future, and entrepreneurship—the building of new businesses—is often the road to that future.
OCW now offers a new cross-disciplinary course list presenting the core academic materials—including syllabi, lecture notes, assignments and exams—from 66 MIT entrepreneurship courses.
The courses are organized into lists that cover core and supplemental entrepreneurship concepts and are also presented in topical lists including finance, law, leadership, marketing and strategy.
Initial courses selected for the list were curated by MIT Sloan School of Management Senior Lecturer Joseph Hadzima, with input from Bill Aulet, Managing Director of the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship.
