Best online resource for classical mechanics

AI Thread Summary
Learning mechanics through extension courses can be effectively supported by various textbooks and online resources. A recommended resource for calculus is Paul's online calculus notes, which serve as a valuable supplement to traditional textbooks. For physics, the MIT OpenCourseWare offers a comprehensive course on classical mechanics, which is highlighted as an excellent resource. Additionally, the UCBerkeley video channel, featuring lectures by Richard Muller, is praised for its engaging and well-structured content, making it a top choice for both introductory and intermediate mechanics studies. These resources collectively enhance understanding and provide a solid foundation in physics concepts.

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.

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.
 
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...
Hi everyone! I'm a senior majoring in physics, math, and music, and I'm currently in the process applying for theoretical and computational biophysics (primarily thru physics departments) Ph.D. programs. I have a 4.0 from a basically unknown school in the American South, two REUs (T50 and T25) in computational biophysics and two semesters of research in optics (one purely experimental, one comp/exp) at my home institution (since there aren't any biophysics profs at my school), but no...
