New Yale Internet Physics resource

In summary, Yale has made Physics 200, a course on the fundamentals of physics, available for free as an internet not-for-credit resource. The lecturer, Shankar, has a reputation for being a great teacher and his book, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, is highly praised. While QM is not covered in this series of lectures, there are plans to add more courses in the future. Shankar is also known for his book on QM, which is linked on the website. Many students have found his lectures to be helpful in understanding concepts and some even hope for more advanced courses to be made available online in the future.

It's always nice to see the face and hear the voice and experience the personality of the author of your textbook, and here of course I mean Shankar's big red Principles of Quantum Mechanics. Great book. Thanks for the heads up Peter!

It is sad that Shankar doesn't cover QM in this series of lectures. Yale has plans that "Over the next three years, nearly 30 more courses and associated course materials will be added to Open Yale Courses", so we will have to hope for some more good Physics. See the web page http://open.yale.edu/courses/about/index.html".

thanks for posting this! I'm up to lecture 11 and it's really helping me understand the concepts, he is a good lecture and I think I'm going to find and buy his math help book too.

Sir Shankar mailed me that Electrodynamics lectures were unfortunately not taped.

Shankar is the man! I hope they put many more of his classes up in the future. Between him and Walter Lewin, who needs to actually go to class ;)

I accidentally stumbled across his lectures a few weeks ago. I haven't watched many (just the first five) but I can definitely say that he is a great lecturer. I haven't read any of his books though.
