SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the availability of free video lectures from universities for mathematics and physics courses. Key resources mentioned include MIT's OpenCourseWare, Yale's Fundamentals of Physics, and Harvey Mudd College's Real Analysis lectures. Users express the need for better quality video resources, particularly for Thermodynamics and Real Analysis, while comparing the effectiveness of different platforms like Khan Academy and traditional university lectures. The consensus highlights the importance of video clarity and pacing for effective learning.

PREREQUISITES
  • Familiarity with basic calculus concepts, including single-variable calculus.
  • Understanding of linear algebra fundamentals.
  • Knowledge of introductory physics principles.
  • Awareness of online educational platforms like MIT OCW and Khan Academy.
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore MIT OpenCourseWare for advanced physics and mathematics courses.
  • Research Yale's Fundamentals of Physics II for second-year physics content.
  • Investigate Harvey Mudd College's Real Analysis video lectures for in-depth understanding.
  • Look for high-quality Thermodynamics lecture series available online.
USEFUL FOR

Students of mathematics and physics, educators seeking supplemental teaching materials, and anyone interested in accessing high-quality free educational resources from reputable institutions.

any lectures on Classical mechanics (upper division)?
 
Physics news on Phys.org

is the rigorous one up to the level of landau?

I have not extensively read Landau/Lifgarbagez but the lectures seem to be at a similar level. If anything the lectures might be a bit less sophisticated, but by very little as far as I can tell.

Hey I'm working on the lectures and Landau's book right now. Lectures are very very good but still not on par with Landau in terms of rigor. That being said, the prof is wonderful and the depth probed by him during the lectures is at similar level to that of Landau's. I think Calkin's Lagrangian and Hamiltonian Mechanics supplement the lectures better than Landau.

I emailed MIT OCW and found out they have a full introductory quantum physics video course (8.04) that they're going to post some time in the not too distant future. Only the first video has been posted so far from that semester (but not at OCW yet)

I think Video lectures from HarveyMudd on true dissection are totally top rate, compared with any video lecture arrangement out there, including the stuff on MIT OCW. I also have viewed and preferred the whole series of lectures. They are focused around "the" content on true dissection (child rudin) and the addresses themselves are extremely decently arranged and conveyed.
