Concrete Mathematics has some fairly advanced stuff (e.g. asymptotics) which I doubt Khan Academy covers.

Right, which was what I was getting at. The person I responded to had written:

> Knuth has even written a book, Concrete Mathematics, that covers these pre-requisites but it might be faster and easier to watch a Khan Academy video!

Which suggests KA as an alternative to CM. Which doesn't follow if it doesn't cover the same material.
