Hi I can see that MIT, Stanford and Yale have open courses in Classical physics and electromagnetics.

Which courses would you recommend for self-studying all the general first year topics at university such as Classical mechanics, electromagnetics, light etc?

For classical mechanics I think this might be the best

Thanks for the link, I was looking for a good source for self-studying on classical physics.
 
comparing a flat solar panel of area 2π r² and a hemisphere of the same area, the hemispherical solar panel would only occupy the area π r² of while the flat panel would occupy an entire 2π r² of land. wouldn't the hemispherical version have the same area of panel exposed to the sun, occupy less land space and can therefore increase the number of panels one land can have fitted? this would increase the power output proportionally as well. when I searched it up I wasn't satisfied with...
