Best online resource for classical mechanics

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The forum discussion identifies several valuable online resources for studying classical mechanics, particularly for those without access to an on-demand teacher. Key recommendations include the MIT OpenCourseWare for Physics I: Classical Mechanics and the UCBerkeley video channel featuring lectures by Richard Muller. These resources are praised for their clarity and effectiveness in supplementing both introductory and intermediate physics courses.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of classical mechanics concepts
  • Familiarity with online learning platforms
  • Access to a reliable internet connection
  • Ability to engage with video lecture formats
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MIT OpenCourseWare for additional physics courses
  • Watch Richard Muller's lectures on the UCBerkeley video channel
  • Review supplementary materials for introductory physics
  • Investigate other online resources for advanced mechanics topics
USEFUL FOR

Students of physics, educators seeking supplementary teaching materials, and anyone interested in enhancing their understanding of classical mechanics through online resources.

I'm learning mechanics right now via an extension course. In the absence of an "on-demand" teacher I've found multiple textbooks and online resources to be useful.

When I studied calculus, Paul's online calculus notes (http://tutorial.math.lamar.edu/Classes/CalcII/CalcII.aspx)
were a great compliment to the textbook.

Is anyone aware of an equivalent physics resource?

A fantastic resource :)
 
The UCBerkeley video channel is what I use for physics courses, taught by Richard Muller. Entertaining and very well put together.

A fantastic resource :)

Definitely the best CM lectures I've come across online. I've used the lecture series to supplement both my introductory physics course, and also intermediate mechanics.
