Could you link to the probability lectures you're referring to?

Thanks. Yes, that's the link. Joe is one of those teachers, who try to simplify the concepts while preserving the elegance of what is described. Kind of like minimalistic simplicity in teaching. While teaching, every time he would emphasise the intuition behind them. He avoids the complex formula's/algebra, calling them ugly ... and often presents one line proofs to them !!. After getting through the first few of lectures, you seem to get the underlying trend in his approach. That all the complexity is just hand waving over the the simplicity of underlying concepts. (Sometimes i think if the maths is complex to explain a phenomenon then we are not using the correct theory to explain it. But i am not a mathematician .... )
