Learning Mathematics using only audio.

Question

Are there any mathematics audio books or other audio sources for learning mathematics, like for example math podcasts which really go into detail. I ask this because I make about 1 hour from my house to the school and staring at a screen on the car makes me dizzy. I know about podcasts and stuff but those don't really teach you math, they talk about math news and mathematicians.

I ask this because many topics can be understood just by giving it a lot of thought and don't necessarily require pen and paper.

Regards.

Answer 1

My suggestion would be to narrow down topics you would like to learn and find YouTube videos of them, then download those YouTube videos listen to them during your commute. I have a daily two hour bus commute and use youtube video's audio to reinforce topics i'm learning at school.

For example: Lets say you want to review calculus, listen to this video on repeat for an hour (its 20 minutes long so you could get through it 3 times!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=di_bzYD0Mkg

Answer 2

I can't really point to a source, but I find the question quite relevant, as audiobooks of mathematic subject can be important also for blind people.

Learnoutloud has a repository of audiobooks and podcast about math and statistics, and related novels as well. Nevertheless it seems to offer no advanced math repository.

PapersOutLoud may be a good project.
