Favorite physics videos on internet

[arpitloveslyf]

hey can anyone tell whether we can access the lecture videos that require a college id to be used, from outside the campus (e.g courses at stanford, which ask for payment)... using the internet by using a friend's id ? is anyone aware whether these lectures are actually on the web or their lan >

My high school physics teacher makes videos for my class that are actually pretty good and I almost even like watching them. They are all on this channel...

You have a pretty good physics teacher, especially to put that much effort into what he does.

I like Ramamurti Shankar's lectures from Yale on University Physics I and II. They cover every topic in most universities Physics I and II w/ calculus course.

I haven't been able to find any other Physics II (intro to EM, gauss law, that sort of thing) videos online.


Those Feynman lectures (the one from MS and the one above are the same series) are great, but you probably won't learn anything that will be helpful in a class. If you pick up the Feynman Lectures on Physics 3 book set, it's basically a transcription of those lectures, only with actual mathematics. Worth every penny for a 1st/2nd year phy/eng/math major. You're library probably has them too.


I'm currently watching Gilbert Strang's Linear Algebra lectures on OCW.MIT
While they aren't nearly as fantastic as Walter Lewin, or that guy who does their calculus 1-2 lectures (not the french guy that does the calc III!), it's still a really good resource to casually watch and better familiarize yourself.

this thread is awesome. really liked the dimensions video. definitely bookmarking this thread

 

[SuperiorPrep]

I like the Stephen Hawking series from National Geographic

Anything Neil Degrasse Tyson. While you won't learn any specifics and it won't help you in any classes, it's still wonderful to see somebody that passionate and involved in science becoming a media giant and effectively spreading scientific literacy.

and Leonard Susskind's lectures from Stanford I lke most of all.

Unfortunately, I can't understand Leonard Susskind's strong accent.

I thought I should share in case anyone don't know TedEd yet:

Feynman's videos are a great source of inspiration for pursuing physics. MIT OCW is also helpful for learning particular subject matters.

awesome feynman videos

Goes through some very basic concept but there is a lot of good and interesting stuff in these lectures.

I also love his teaching style.

The Fabric of cosmos by Brian Greene
My favourite is the 3rd part 'quantum leap'

He assigns them as homework then we practice stuff in class.

I checked out a couple videos from the above links... not sure I'm ready for that stuff yet...

Your teacher is really good...

wow, I was surprised that professor Balakrishnan has only been mentioned one time in this thread.

In my opinion this guy and his way of teaching is far superior to both Walter Lewin and Susskind. Here's a link to his series on classical mechanics:

 

[Erbil]

is there any good videos for these topics :

-Einstein Summation Convention
-Analyctical Geometry in 3d
-Vector Functions
-Path Integrals
(Integral Theorems)
a)Green Theorem
b)Divergence Theorem
c)Stokes Theorem
-Gama Functions

I totally do not understand the what is the relationship between these topics.It's applied science topics,but it seems to me very abstract.

Edit : I have found ;

[Vodkacannon]

I simply found path integral videos by searching them on Youtube. I was suprised to see them. I'm sure you can just find all of these topics at a hardcore level on youtube.

Dirac on Quantum Mechanics and discovery of Dirac Equation

Paul Dirac himself explaining Quantum Mechanics. Poor visual quality on parts, but no one explains his work better then himself.

I am a mech engg btech and a self learner. I found the following video lectures on quantum physics really good for a beginner

Don't know if the Yale ones have been mentioned but they are great as an introduction to physics in general:

I made a set of videos on basic physics concepts:

These are meant for 17-18 year old students in Singapore. Let me know what you think.
