I've enrolled in 3 Coursera classes as a kind of warm-up for (possibly) going back to school to study computer science (if my start-up succeeds before then). They are:

  1. Introduction to Mathematical Thinking by Keith Devlin
  2. Learn to Program: The Fundamentals by Jennifer Campbell and Paul Gries
  3. Introduction to Logic by Michael Genesereth

I'm thinking of doing all three, though I might skip 2 since I'm already doing things along those lines.

So far, 1 and 3 have lots of overlap. I'm not sure if that is good or bad yet.
