Free Physics Lectures: QM Lecture Notes & Linear Algebra

In summary, the author emphasises that the reader be strong in linear algebra. If you have an Apple device, you could try "iTunes U". However, the same problem exists in that the lectures are not all recorded at the same university.

I know about and have watched some lectures., namely the MIT lectures.

However, the majority are classical mechanics or incomplete.

I was wondering if someone had an orderd list of free lectures covering all 3 years of physics. Quantum mechanics, relativity, solid-state, etc. I would be very greatful.

Thank you

If you have an Apple device, you could try "iTunes U". It is an app that let's you watch free lectures recorded at universities.

I have itunes u, however, the same problem.

Are there any courses that cover evrything: classical mechanics, thermodynamics, condensed matter, quantum mechanics and relitivity., and whatever else I missed off.

They don't have to be from the same uni.

A recommended order would be nice.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Just watching the lectures of 3 years may not yield the best result, unless you actually do some of the work. When you looked at the MIT lectures - did you just look them up on youtube - or via the MIT opencourseware site ( http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/physics/) ? -- If you have the aptitude and motivation to be self-taught, this is the best way I have seen to learn physics.

Its more the fact that they don't cover all the topics, only mechanics, waves and magnatism.

I see your point...

Where would the best starting point course to introduce the basic mechanics in astrophysics course study?
I am extremely interested in learning astrophysics and astronomy
