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!

Pretty much ditto this comment--I was trying to keep up, but with Thanksgiving craziness, I haven't been able to get to Lecture 3 and I'm definitely not going to be able to do two a week with Christmas coming up, so I'm going to be slowing down to one a week I think (and trying to catch up after this week ;P)

Also this is exactly how I feel on this: I can grasp the programming just fine, but my brain pretty much just shuts down when confronted with phrases like "the sum of the logarithms of all the primes from 2 to n."
