Just curious, but any chance of Khan Academy adding Discrete Mathematics? Correct me if I am wrong but I don't think coursera/udemy have a course either. The only free online course I am aware of for Discrete Mathematics is MIT OCW 6.042J.

I don't think we have any immediate plans for Discrete math - we are still filling in gaps in our K-12 curriculum. We'll see, maybe someday!

  For what it's worth I would absolutely love a discrete math course from Khan academy.

Descrete Math is so important to understand the analysis of the algorithms (esp. a new problem). However, I did not find any useful course except the one you mentioned.

  Berkley's Discrete Math class is solid. Lectures on Youtube: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-XXv-cvA_iDTidF2dnVq_8lqoigCNSEL http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL-XXv-cvA_iDTidF2dnVq_...

    This looks latest (fall 2014). Thanks :) Will try it out, I was looking for descrete mathematics course almost 2 years back and could find only MIT one. Good to see some options now.

  MIT also has a pretty solid discrete math course on OCW (I admit, I only watched the lectures, but they were a good refresher for me going into interviews). http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-computer-science/6-042j-mathematics-for-computer-science-fall-2010/ http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/electrical-engineering-and-comput...

It seems like Khan Academy initially covered whatever Sal Khan found interesting, so there is Calculus, Linear Algebra and Differential Equations. Now that it's become more focused, a side effect is that there's a bigger concentration on grade school-level stuff. It is a pity though. It would have been great to see KA covering Theoretical CS as well as Discrete Math.
