Electrical Engineering and Computer Science @ MIT OpenCourseWare
MIT OpenCourseWare (OCW) for electrical engineering and computer science. MIT OCW is a free publication of MIT course materials (i.e., notes, assignments, projects, exams, and online textbooks) that reflects almost all the undergraduate and graduate subjects taught at MIT.
Programmer's Heaven
Almost 10,000 file downloads & thousands of links to programming related web pages. Puts programmers in touch with online information on programming languages, developmental tools, source codes & multimedia.
Wolfram Alpha
Wolfram Alpha is a computational knowledge engine. It is not a search engine; rather, it generates output by doing computations from its own internal knowledge base. The best way to get an idea of its scope and capabilities is to view its Web & Computer Systems Examples page.
