    It's used in the course "Abstract Algebra" (Harvard). Lecture videos are available: http://www.extension.harvard.edu/openlearning/math222/ Benedict Gross is a great lecturer and I recommend watching them.

    Yea, it's really tough to find an analysis course. I looked around online for a long time and never found one. Ended up picking it up as a regular college class and learned a lot. I don't understand why nobody has bother recording analysis lectures and posting them as they have with other subjects. It seems the only autodidactic way to learn analysis at this point is to download a book and dive in. If you're looking for pure math though, http://www.extension.harvard.edu/open-learning-initiative/ab... is a really great Abstract Algebra course taught by Gross at Harvard though.
