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?
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
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...
