AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the desire to retake a physics course focused on wave phenomena, specifically using the Berkeley Physics Series, Volume 3 by Dr. Crawford. The original course materials and notes are no longer available, and the Berkeley Physics Department has transitioned to different teaching methods and textbooks. The main request is for recommendations on finding an online course that aligns with the traditional approach of Dr. Crawford's teachings and utilizes the specified textbook. Suggestions for resources, links, or ideas to achieve this goal are welcomed.

During my B.S./Physics I largely missed course # 3, which (back then) was entirely based on the Berkeley Physics Series, Volume 3 (Waves), by Dr. Crawford. I would *really* like to retake this course, using this book (even though it apparently is out of style nowadays). Unfortunately, Dr. Crawford has left us, his class notes were lost/destroyed, and the Berkeley Physics Dept has moved on to other approaches to teaching wave phenomena (theory and applications), and other textbooks.

Any suggestions for finding an online-accessible waves course taught in the "old" style, using this book? Thanks in advance for any links, suggestions, or ideas.

Thread 'Help with my plan to get into research about bound states'

Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
