Classical Works on Physics, online?

AI Thread Summary
Classical works on physics can be found online, though free resources are limited. The Gutenberg Project offers some texts, including works by Einstein and Poincaré, searchable under "physics." Additionally, organizations like APS/AIP and the Royal Society have previously made their classic journals available for free during special centennial celebrations, but these opportunities are often time-sensitive and may no longer be accessible.

Can I find classical works on Physics online somewhere?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I would love to know the answer to this question too. There is probably not much available for free. You might try the Gutenberg project

A search for "physics" returns some things by Einstein and something by Poincare.

Often, you have to be ready at just the right time. Both APS/AIP (for the Physical Review Journals) and the Royal Society had short periods where they made all their "classics" publicly available. These were during some big n-centennial kind of celebration. Window gone - opportunity lost.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...

Thread 'Applied Math PhD candidate but I hate group theory'

TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
