How cool is this. MIT Open Courseware offers a class called Gödel, Escher, Bach: A Mental Space Odyssey. It is an entire course geared around Douglas Hofstadter’s book Gödel, Escher, Bach.

    		Hmm, the only course I could find lists it as a high school course. Lame.

      		The content of the course is more important than who they developed it for.
