The Khan Academy](Khan Academy - Wikipedia)is a not-for-profit educational organization created and sustained by Salman Khan. With the stated mission “of providing a high quality education to anyone, anywhere”, the Academy supplies a free online collection of more than 1,400 videos[1] on mathematics, science, and economics.
Salman Khan was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. His parents were immigrants from what is now India and Bangladesh. Khan holds three degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology: a BS in mathematics, a BS in electrical engineering and computer science, and an MS in electrical engineering and computer science. He also holds an MBA from Harvard Business School. In late 2004, Khan began tutoring his niece in mathematics using Yahoo!'s Doodle notepad. When other relatives and friends sought his tutorage, he decided it would be more practical to distribute the tutorials on YouTube.[4][5] Their popularity there and the testimonials of appreciative students prompted Khan to quit his job in finance in 2009 and focus on the Academy full-time.[5]
As of December 2009, Khan’s YouTube-hosted tutorials receive a total of more than 35,000 views per day.
