Khan Academy for Undergraduate Physics

In summary, the conversation is about finding online resources for undergraduate/graduate-level physics and math. The Khan Academy is praised for its structure and incentives, but is limited to high school level material. The MIT opencourseware is suggested as a great resource with outstanding material and video lectures. It is also recommended to read Feynman's Lectures on Physics for those interested in enjoying physics. However, it is argued that it is possible to enjoy physics without reading Feynman.

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.

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.
