Some really nice links here, thanks. I've been having some issues with university maths recently, hopefully I'll find some useful textbooks/videos

Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy (SEP)
http://plato.stanford.edu/

Helped me out a lot when I was in undergrad. Accurate, free, and in-depth.

God I love SEP. I don't study philosophy anymore but this is still my big time killer.

Anything a UCLA math professor puts on his website can be read by anyone, you don't have to log in as a UCLA student.

http://www.math.ucla.edu/courses/index.shtml

There have to be some gems in here, even if most professors don't upload lecture notes sadly.

In the programming section I notice w3schools, which as I've read around isn't a very good resource (see: http://w3fools.com/). www.stackoverflow.com is a really nice programming resource if you need help with something, 9/10 it's been asked before and answered on there.

Awesome references. Thanks.

I had never heard of w3fools! I actually use w3schools for web-dev reference stuff...I've always felt like it was inadequate but it just seemed like it was better than all the alternatives. Now i feel like a...well, w3fool!

www.wikipedia.org has tons of gems. As a 4th year university student I have found myself saved by this website countless times. I strongly recommend it to anyone having questions about any topic.

Yeah I forgot to include wikipedia. It has been invaluable to me, but I forget it as soon as it's fulfilled its job. I've included it into the misc category, you get credit for it. Also updated other links by other posters and their names attached.

FORA.tv records lectures from Nobel laureates, Supreme Court justices, and just about anyone else you can imagine. TED has become ubiquitous in the past few years for their TED Conferences, where they attract awesome speakers and condense good talks to less than twenty minutes. Like Open Courses, they can be downloaded on iTunes or streamed from their respective sites.

What I'd consider the best textbook on game theory out there (at least from a mathematical perspective) is legally free.

http://www.math.ucla.edu/~tom/Game_Theory/Contents.html

It's by Tom Ferguson, father of poker player Chris Ferguson.
