Free Video Lectures from universities, all Math and Physics courses

flyingpig

Like with all the opencoursewares universities have opened, is it possible that you can just visit their lectures if you miss class? I have visited pretty much every universities and videos out there and have made a list

PreCalculus& Algebra Physics

PatrickJmt
KhanAcademy

First Year Calculus/Physics

Physics with Kiledjian
Physics with Walter Lewin
Single Variable Calculus with David Jerison
PatrickJmt
KhanAcademy

Now beyond first year, I have some difficulty deciding whether some of these lectures are the same as my universities

Second Year Physics

Mechanics with Ramamurti Shankar

I looked at the videos and some of the content seems to intercept that with what I did in first year

Electricity and Magnetism with Ramamurti Shankar

Same as Mechanics. The course codes are all with 2xx, so I thought it is 2nd year, I don't know, someone confirm this for me.

Modern Physics with Leonard Susskind

For Modern Physics, there were so many playlists, I don't even know where to begin. The total number of video lectures in each playlist number less than 30, which I suspect that they aren't targeted for undergraduates (usually we get about 20 lecture days? But his videos are like 2hrs long so I don't know) Someone please help me confirm this.

Second year Math

Linear Algebra with Gibert Strang

KhanAcademy

Multivariable with Denis Auroux

There are also a lot of videos on

ODE with Arthur Mattuck

Alright, so what is the purpose of this thread? I just want someone out there who is a lot more experienced than I am (probably all of you) to answer the questions I have above and also to post free online coursewares that you have found on the Internet that helped you and posted it here for other people.

I am personally having difficulties looking for a playlist for Thermodyanmics (Physics)

I've checked out Berkeley's opencourseware, it's not that it's bad, but the video quality of each video is almost unwatchable.

Thanks

There are many free and open audio/video lectures for academic courses, available online, from educational institutions. The following information is about those lectures on physics and mathematics.

1) Physics lectures

2) Math lectures

The Yale Physics 200 course is essentially freshman physics, though it is intended for very well prepared freshmen.

flyingpig

Why is it course code "200" then...?

The infocobuild link that seouldavid gave above is very good for finding 80-90% of the good stuff out there. However, we are missing decent reviews of the videos. I am willing to offer my thoughts on many of them, but it would probably be better organized by subject than just a big catch-all thread.

flyingpig

No, I am posting this as to scout for more. Like a contribution thread.

How are these videos on real analysis ?

These are from HarveyMudd College.

In comparison to MIT OCW how would you rate these?

flyingpig

The video is kinda blurry, but still beats Berkeley's videos...

If a mod could, please edit my post and add the link

Ya video is kinda blurry. But you say those are better than Berkeley's ? Can you give links to Berkeley lectures , if there are any on real analysis?

I am from India so dunno much about HarveyMudd college.I searched and saw that it is ranked 18 on Liberal-arts college lists . How are these colleges?

brocks

Harvey Mudd was recently rated as the top engineering college in the US. The reason it's not better known is that it confers only the BS degree, and has no graduate program. But its graduates go on to get a PhD at something like the third highest rate of all US colleges.

Video lectures from HarveyMudd on real analysis are absolutely first rate, compared to any video lecture series out there, including the stuff on MIT OCW. I have watched and liked the entire series of lectures. They are based on "the" text on real analysis (baby rudin) and the lectures themselves are very well planned and delivered.

where_the

cool.
Because I was in search of real analysis lectures since many days. I hope they keep it on youtube for a few more months.

Any idea what the lecturer wants as prerequisites for the course? Cause I am not at rudin level yet.

flyingpig

Probably just Calculus is enough

saim_

Yes, single variable calculus, including infinite series and sequences, should be enough to get one through the lectures, however, I don't think that will be enough preparation if you plan on doing the problems in the book.

where_the

I am not planning on doing the problems as yet of Rudin. i was looking for an introduction -something of a first look on the subject. and I guess as you people mentioned the course is excellent for such a purpose.

flyingpig

In my college, all you need is a proof course to take Analysis.

im learning the basics of physics and QM from the leonard susskind series. it is simplified enough so i can understand it and the lectures seem pretty thorough. trying to teach myself the math is going alright too. i think i left off with algebra2 in high school. i found a used precalculus book at a booksale. i think i have long way to go.
