Schools Any good YouTube channels for 'College Physics' (algebra)

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around seeking effective YouTube channels for studying College Physics I, which focuses on basic mechanics and Newtonian physics. The user currently utilizes Khan Academy and PatrickJMT for preparatory learning but finds Khan Academy's content insufficient for college-level physics. They express a preference for avoiding calculus-based physics resources, like those from Walter Lewin, until they advance to engineering physics next semester. Suggestions include exploring MIT OpenCourseWare, although it is noted that MIT does not provide algebra-based physics content. The conversation highlights the need for quality educational resources tailored to algebra-based physics for better comprehension.

Hey everyone,

I am currently taking College Physics I which covers basic mechanics, Newtonian physics, and some other various topics. It is algebra based, as I didn't have physics in high school. I was wondering if there are any good YouTube channels that you all find helpful? I normally watch KhanAcademy, or (for math) PatrickJMT before my lectures so I have a general idea of what will be covered. I find this works well for me on top of reading the book before class.

However, I haven't really found any good YouTube channels. The KhanAcademy one is okay, but it honestly seems a little bit below College Physics, even though it should be the same since its basically high school level physics. I am comfortable with calculus (I'm enrolled in Cal. 2), so I've tried Walter Lewin and the likes, but I feel like focusing on calculus based physics currently will be a mistake. It seems to make more intuitive sense to me, but I think it'll work better if I avoid it until next semester when I am in engineering physics.

Thanks.

MIT doesn't offer algebra based physics.

TL;DR Summary: What topics to cover to safely say I know arithmetic ? I am learning arithmetic from Indian NCERT textbook. Currently I have finished addition ,substraction of 2 digit numbers and divisions, multiplication of 1 digit numbers. I am moving pretty slowly. Can someone tell me what topics to cover first to build a framework and then go on in detail. I want to learn fast. It has taken me a year now learning arithmetic. I want to speed up. Thanks for the help in advance. (I also...
Hi community My aim is to get into research about atoms, specifically, I want to do experimental research that explores questions like: 1. Why do Gallium/Mercury have low melting points 2. Why are there so many exceptions and inconsistencies when it comes to explaining molecular structures / reaction mechanisms in inorganic and organic chemistry 3. Experimental research about fundamental Quantum Mechanics, such as the one being followed by Hiroshima university that proved that observing...
guys i am currently studying in computer science engineering [1st yr]. i was intrested in physics when i was in high school. due to some circumstances i chose computer science engineering degree. so i want to incoporate computer science engineering with physics and i came across computational physics. i am intrested studying it but i dont know where to start. can you guys reccomend me some yt channels or some free courses or some other way to learn the computational physics.
