Khan Academy for Undergraduate Physics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights the appreciation for the structured learning approach of Khan Academy, particularly its incentives for continued education. However, there is a noted gap in available resources for undergraduate and graduate-level physics and math. MIT OpenCourseWare is recommended as a valuable alternative, featuring high-quality material and video lectures. Additionally, there is a suggestion to read Feynman's Lectures on Physics to enhance enjoyment of the subject, though this recommendation is met with some pushback regarding its necessity. Overall, the conversation centers on finding advanced educational resources similar to Khan Academy.

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.

Thread 'Hepth programs in Europe'

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...

Thread 'Should I pursue a masters degree after 4.5 years working in IT?'

I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...

Thread 'Tips for a CS and physics major'

Hello, I’m an undergraduate student pursuing degrees in both computer science and physics. I was wondering if anyone here has graduated with these degrees and applied to a physics graduate program. I’m curious about how graduate programs evaluated your applications. In addition, if I’m interested in doing research in quantum fields related to materials or computational physics, what kinds of undergraduate research experiences would be most valuable?
