I'm sure I'm not alone, but I personally love the way that the Khan Academy site is structured and how it gives incentives to users to continue learning. However, a lot of the material for physics and math is at a high school level. I was wondering if anybody knew of any online resources structured like Khan Academy, Brilliant, etc. for undergraduate/graduate-level physics/math.

Tip: If you want to enjoy physics, the first thing you must do is read Feynman's Lectures on Physics.
That's a bit presumptuous, don't you think? It's entirely possible to enjoy physics without reading Feynman.

Well its just a tip. Maybe i quoted it wrong. So: You may give Feynman a try.
