Lectures Definition and 334 Threads

Today Rovelli started a series of 8 lectures on the new formulation of Loop Gravity Here's the outline of the draft notes for Lectures on LG. It gives an entry-level introduction to the theory of spacetime geometry, for the students at the Zakopane school, as well as an idea of the essential...

have such awesome intros? anybody can translate?

Ok so I heard that these are great and that a physics student should have them, but I don't know what version to pick. Like there's https://www.amazon.com/dp/0805390456/?tag=pfamazon01-20 And https://www.amazon.com/dp/0465023827/?tag=pfamazon01-20 So the 2nd one is newer, so maybe more up to...

I am getting ready to go back to school for physics this coming fall, but in the mean time I am doing a lot of study on physics materials simply because I find it absolutely fascinating and do not want to wait however many months (Not to mention how long it will take me to get past classical...

Is the Quantum Mechanics lecture series by Dr. Leonnard Susskind available on dvd?

In Volume 1 of the Feynman Lectures on Physics, Feynman derives the ideal gas law from Newton's laws of motion. But then on page 41-1, he puts a caveat to the derivation he has just completed: "We have perpetually been making a certain important assumption, which is that if a given system is in...

Hey guys. I just stumbled upon this site which I find really awesome. Its called Academic Earth. This site has a collection of video lectures on many different subjects: Math, Science, Engineering, History, Philosophy and many more. It has lectures from M.I.T, Berkeley, Harvard, Yale and more...

The first lecture of the series (18 October) is already online. http://pirsa.org/C10020 The series is called Invitation to Causal Sets.

Are there any? If so, which are the best ones? (Upper Division Undergrad)

Hello, so I was watching Susskind's lectures on Statistical Mechanics: He explained Liouville's Theorem qualitatively in the following two ways: No Merging: Two trajectories in phase space will never merge; this seems obvious using the time-symmetry and determinism in classical mechanics...

So, after quite a while of internet browsing over the past couple of months I've accumulated quite a hefty collection of resources for learning first year physics & I think it's about time I posted it as I've found a few of these resources practically nowhere on the internet. As far as I can...

I have been going through some great science lectures I have downloaded from itunes U from Apples itunes store. You don't have to own an ipod to use them as they can be viewed for free on a computer. Unfortunately the sound quality on many audio and video lectures is very poor. We can take...

This isn't quite homework help, although it might seem a little like it. I was reading my copies of the Feynman's lectures the other day and in volume 1, chapter 2, section 2, "Physics before 1920" he mentioned something which confused me a little: when explaining electric charges and...

Can anyone explain what Feynman means when he is talking of a reversible machine in the chapter four of his lectures? What exactly is a reversible machine? Please explain this paragraph : "If when we have lifted and lowered a lot of weights and restored the machine back to its original...

Here are some cool video lectures on introductory QFT: QFT Video Lectures

I want to read Sommerfed Lectures on Theoretical Physics. I started with vol.1 Mechanics. Just wondering if anyone here has read any of the vols? Or perhaps wants to read them in the future?

Hello, I wonder if you got any suggestions for classical mechanics video lectures? I don't mean freshman physics, but rather the course which includes the topics such as central body motion, lagrangian, hamiltonian, etc. (I guess it is considered as an upper level course on most schools)

In preparation for my PhD Qualifying Exam I've prepared a series of lectures on SPP Dispersion Relations , Boundary conditions; Magnetic Field, Transmission Lines Part 1, and Reflection Transmission Normal Incidence Part 1 among other things. My YouTube page can be found at: I'd...

Does anybody know of any good resources for this? Specifically for real analysis, I'm looking for something that covers calculus on manifolds, differential forms, Lebesgue integration, etc. and for functional analysis: metric spaces, Banach spaces, Hilbert spaces, Fourier series, etc. Thanks!

I have seen some MIT lecture videos on you tube.i am a high school student of India and i can easily follow most of topics covered in these lectures. In fact we learn many of the topics in greater detail in high schools here in india. Is this because the indian syllabus is rigorous or is...

Hello, everyone I began reading Lectures on Physics from Feynman. But there is a problem: Those books haven't exercises. Can anyone tell me a (several) book(s) of exercises solved and proposed (with solutions) to accompany those Lectures step by step? Thank you very much for your help...

Hi, I just ordered the Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics and although the exercises in them appear to be very interesting, most of them come without answer. I'm just wondering if there is someone with answers to all of them or if there is a book or website which has them. Thanks

Video Lectures from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, ranging from Calculus I and Discrete Mathematics all the way through Real Analysis and Chaotic Dynamical Systems. http://www.uccs.edu/~math/vidarchive.html You do need to register to access the videos. Good stuff.

This is an excellent book, so I'm surprised it's only been mentioned once before in the science book forum. It deserves a lot more attention than that, so I thought I'd at least post a recommendation. The full title is "Lectures on quantum theory: mathematical and structural foundations". If you...
