Video Lectures

Support for video production of Professor Strang's videotaped lectures was provided by the Lord Foundation of Massachusetts under a grant to the Center for Advanced Educational Services of MIT. MIT Video Productions (MVP) supervised the videotaping and MIT's Streaming Media & Compression Services (SMCS) provided digitizing and web hosting.
