A useful YouTube channel for all topics: Computerphile (suggested by Stergios), use the "Search Channel" option to search for topics in this channel. If you do find a video which you believe is particularly useful, please email me and, if I agree, I will add it to the relevant presentation and/or under the relevant topic. This applies to any video or website you find useful.
