Audiobooks or lectures to listen to at highschool-level

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around finding suitable audio resources for high school mathematics and physics that can be listened to while walking. While visual presentation is emphasized as crucial for understanding these subjects, some recommendations include Adrian Banner's Princeton lecture series on Calculus I and II, which is available for free on YouTube. This series is noted for its clarity and thoroughness in covering single-variable calculus. Additionally, a supplementary book by Adrian is available for around $20 on Amazon. The consensus suggests that traditional audiobooks may not be effective due to the reliance on visual aids in lectures.

(Not a 100% this goes here but oh well)
I imagine there's not a lot of this, since visual presentation is pretty important in these subjects, but does anyone know any good lectures or audiobooks on highscool/Secondary mathematics or physics that one could listen too while taking a promenade?
Edit: Or, if not high school stuff, things a high school student could follow or would maybe have the prereqs for?

Adrian Banner's Princeton lecture series on Calc I and Calc II was especially good, free on youtube. I know this stretches into post-sec mathematics, but it walks through basically all of single-variable calculus in a very precise way. Also, there is a cheap supplementary book by Adrian ~$20 on amazon.
P.S. I don't think audiobooks would be a good idea, since as you said "visual presentation is pretty important", if you just listened to the audio, the professor will often refer to things he's written on the board and you will be awfully confused.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
