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

Thread 'Thinking Outside The Box Versus Knowing What’s In The Box'

Insights auto threads is broken atm, so I'm manually creating these for new Insight articles. Someone who shows interest in science is initially a welcome development. So are fresh ideas from unexpected quarters. In contrast, there is a scientific community that is meticulously organized down to the last detail, allowing little to no external influence. With the invention of social media and other sites on the internet competing for content, unprecedented opportunities have opened up for...

Thread 'Bilateral and unilateral constraints'

I am going through this course on collision detection: https://siggraphcontact.github.io/ In this link is a PDF called course notes. Scrolling down to section 1.3, called constraints. In this section it is said that we can write bilateral constraints as ##\phi(\mathbf{x}) = 0## and unilateral constraints as ##\phi(\mathbf{x}) \ge 0##. I understand that, but then it says that these constraints call also be written as: $$\mathbf{J} \mathbf{u} = 0, \mathbf{J} \mathbf{u} \ge 0,$$ where...
