Hello from a Retiree in Georgia

How did you find PF?

Hello. I'm a retired embedded software engineer who loves math, physics, and electronics--none of which I'm good at. Current dabbling includes Yale Physics on-line course, KhanAcademy for calculus review, and ilectureOnline for EE. I build guitar distortion pedals for a hobby, and enjoy modifying the circuits to obtain different sounds.

Check out Leonard Susskind's series called "The Theoretical Minimum" Those courses are specifically designed for people like you and they are very popular. The video quality is also much better than most video courses, and that's critical. You can find them on Youtube. The courses (10 lectures each) are enough to keep you busy for a long time.

• Classical Mechanics
• Quantum Mechanics
• Special Relativity
• General Relativity
• Statistical Mechanics
• Particle Physics
• Strings/standard model/supersymmetry/M-theory ... advanced topics
• Electromechanics and quantum fields are also in one of the courses, don't remember which.

Some of the courses were repeated in 2008, and again in 2013. Choose one or the other for continuity, but don't jump back and forth.
