This site is truly amazing, I'm learning so much every day. I was wondering if there might be an addition of Real Analysis to the math section in the future. It's a subect that has givin me great difficulty in the past and I feel it would be a awesome addition to Khan Academy's content. Thank you for all the hard work you guys have done, your efforts are making a positive impact in the world.
Real Analysis is very much unlike many of the other Math disciplines. It is one of those disciplines where you actually learn much more from the struggle of trying to prove something without any outside help. Also it is one of those subjects in which any question has with it a multitude of answers. For instance, the Intermediate Value Theorem can be proven directly in a couple different ways or even by contradiction, essentially there is no solid correct answer to proving theorems but rather a set of correct answers.
Teaching the terminology and seeing the Khan Academy approach to something like real analysis would probably save my math degree. K.A videos are always so much more special than most mathematical content I watch. Though all maths really requires thinking rather than spoon fed information at the end of the day, I still believe real analysis video-content would make such a huge difference.
