University-Level Physics Video Lectures: Pre-Med Students Suggestions

AI Thread Summary
For pre-med students seeking university-level physics lectures, several recommendations were made beyond Walter Lewin, Ramamurti Shankar, and Khan Academy. Stanford's video lectures, particularly those by Leonard Susskind, were highlighted as excellent resources. Susskind's lectures cover a range of topics including classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, and can be found on YouTube by searching for "Leonard Susskind lecture number 'n'" to access specific topics. However, some participants noted that after viewing these lectures, students should focus on solving problems from textbooks, as further lectures may not significantly enhance understanding.

If some pre-med students want to study Physics by watching university-level video lectures on Physics-1 (Classical Mechanics) and Physics-2 (Electricity & Magnetism), what site would you suggest to them? (They already know of Walter Lewin, Ramamurti Shankar and Khan Academy). Can you suggest any other good universities with video lectures for physics?

You can try with Stanford video lectures. You can find these lectures on youtube, write Leonard Susskind (the professor) lecture number "n" . You'll find lectures on classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, cosmology and so on...:smile:

At that level you won't be able to find anything better. If you already watched those lectures you should just do problems from a textbook.Watching any more lectures won't help you much.

Thanks. I see many lectures by Leonard Susskind. What do you mean by lecture number "n" - can't find those - do you have a link?
 

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
