Status check!

I'm planning to post lecture 4 today, but I also thought maybe we could do some brainstorming. How are you doing so far? Finding anything confusing or the pace too fast? Would it be helpful to have some simpler, less MIT-ish problems to warm up with? A weekly chat option to go over things or watch the lectures? Partners to work on the problem sets with?

Fire away with any ideas and suggestions!

This thread is making me feel much better. I've watched the first three lectures and am doing okay with the readings, but I'm still stuck on the first problem set and was in fact seriously thinking of giving up (cue the I'm-not-smart-enough self-loathing channel!). But I would like to continue to plug away at it. My mother informs me that logarithm is just a fancy word for exponent, so I may even be able to handle the mathy stuff, but all the kinds of help people have suggested and offered sound great.
