Crash Courses in Physics Topics?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the search for free online crash courses in various physics topics, specifically looking for PDFs that include good examples for effective learning. A recommendation is made for Benjamin Crowell's ebooks available at lightandmatter.com, which cover classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and theories of relativity. However, there is a noted difficulty in finding resources specifically for quantum mechanics and Lagrangian mechanics. The request emphasizes the importance of examples in the learning process.

Does anyone know of any "crash courses" in various physics topics such as classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, theories of relativity, field theories, etc free online? By "crash courses" I mean PDF's for example with good examples, since I learn the quickest with examples. I know it is rather specific but if anyone knows that would be great. I only ask if you are already familiar with some and would like to recommend them to me, I'm not asking anyone to google for me. Thanks.

Thanks! I cannot seem to find quantum mechanics or lagrangian mechanics anywhere though?
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
