It can be difficult to learn mathematics on your own from textbooks, and I often wish universities videotaped their mathematics courses and distributed them for free online. Fortunately, some universities do that (albeit to a very limited extent), and I hope we can compile here a list of all the mathematics courses one can view in their entirety online.

Please only post videos of entire courses; that is, a speaker giving one lecture introducing a subject to the audience should be off-limits, but a sequence of, say, 30 hour-long videos, each of which is a lecture delivered in a class would be very much on-topic.

Some list can be fetched from the ancient post here:mathoverflow.net/questions/1714/… – To be cont'd Feb 5 2011 at 19:00

+100 if I could. I always wanted to have them in summers. – To be cont'd Feb 5 2011 at 23:11

Please, share these videos also on MathOnline, in the video section! :-) mathonline.andreaferretti.it – Andrea Ferretti Apr 8 2011 at 11:39

There are many good quality math lectures (mostly in Russian but sometimes in English) http://www.lektorium.tv/ they are groupped by courses (for example http://www.lektorium.tv/course/?id=22876)

A Computability Theory course by Bart Kastermans. These lectures followed Robert Soare's new book, which is not yet published, so they are temporarily behind a password; however, Bart's website indicates that the passwords are available upon request. (In any case they will be open to the public eventually, I think.)

All Master Classes given at QGM and the previous CTQM are online here: http://qgm.au.dk/video/ and here: http://www.ctqm.au.dk/news/special_events.html.

It is quite an extensive list of 17 Master Classes in total. The courses are on a variety of different subjects, given by among others Maxim Kontsevich, Nicolai Reshetikhin, Nigel Hitchin, Vaughan Jones, Tom Mrowka, Gregor Masbaum, Dylan Thurston, Robert Penner and many more.

Here is a summer school on Berkovich spaces

http://www.diffusion.ens.fr/index.php?res=cycles&idcycle=490

(there are more courses at http://www.diffusion.ens.fr/ but unfortunately they are not broken into catergories; one has to fish for mathematical courses more or less via manual search)

The following links lead to lectures in Russian.

http://bogomolov-lab.ru/SHKOLA/courses.html

a summer school for undergraduates (topics include number theory, metric geometry, anabelian geometry)

http://www.mathnet.ru/php/presentation.phtml?&option_lang=eng

has a huge collection of videos, including recordings of summer school courses both for undergraduates and graduates.

http://blip.tv/pifagorov/ and http://www.lektorium.tv/ are examples of a similar effort

Coursera offers not just the videos, but entire courses: I'm currently following Probabilistic Graphical Models, which has weekly exercises and programming projects (which are marked by an autograder), plus community discussion boards and a wiki for collaborating with other students pursuing the course at the same time. Although you could presumably just create an account towards the end of term, archive off all the videos and then watch them at your leisure rather than trying to match the (reasonably demanding) schedule.

I took a Cryptography course there and it was good! Also, it seems like it is growing quite fast with more and more courses added. Definitely recommended to take a look. – Ng Yong Hao Jul 19 at 2:29

A master course by Benoit Fresse on operads and Grothendieck-Teichmüller groups (in french), at Université Lille 1, given this semester (Winter 2012). The course has a really nice and complete introduction to the subject. The principal reference is a preprint (in english) writed by Fresse.

If you happen to know Italian, on Massimo Gobbino's home page there are videos (tablet pc screencasts + audio) of several courses (Calculus I and II for engineers, honors calculus/analysis) and lots of high-school Math Olympiad training material.

Highly recommended: I find tablet screencasts an excellent medium, and on top of that Massimo is a great teacher.

Might as well plug my own course on Diophantine Geometry. It's in Portuguese, so that will restrict the audience a bit, but I am having fun and it's nearly finished (last class on Nov 8th 2011). IMPA has a bunch of other videos as well, just follow the links.

Nine lectures by me on representation theory, the first two on generalities, the next five deal with representations of symmetric groups in the semisimple case, going up to the calculation of character values using Frobenius' formula. The last two deal with polynomial representations of GL(m). Assignments and notes are available on the course website.
