Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
The American Institute of Mathematics (AIM) was founded in 1994 by John Fry, co-founder of Fry's Electronics, and located in the Fry's Electronics San Jose, California location. Privately funded by Fry at inception, in 2002, AIM became one of eight NSF-funded mathematical institutes.Brian Conrey became the institute's director in 1997.The Institute was founded with the primary goal of identifying and solving important mathematical problems.  Originally, very small groups of top mathematicians would be assembled to solve a major problem, such as the Birch and Swinnerton-Dyer conjecture.  Now the Institute also runs an extensive program of week-long workshops on current topics in mathematical research.  These workshops rely strongly on interactive problem sessions.  
From 1998 to 2009 (with the exception of 1999), AIM annually awarded a prestigious five-year fellowship to an "outstanding new PhD pursuing research in an area of pure mathematics", and currently is not offering the fellowship.  AIM also sponsors local mathematics competitions and a yearly meeting for women mathematicians.
The Institute will eventually move to Morgan Hill, California, about 39 miles (63 km) to the southeast of San Jose, when its new facility there is completed.  Plans for the new facility were started about 2000, but construction work was delayed by regulatory and engineering issues. In February 2014 the AIM received permission to start construction of the facility, which will be built as a facsimile of The Alhambra, a 14th-century Moorish palace and fortress in Spain., but as of three-and-a-half years later (August 2017), no construction activity had started.
