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.

Hey, I am Andreas from Germany. I am currently 35 years old and I want to relearn math and physics. This is not one of these regular questions when it comes to this matter. So... I am very realistic about it. I know that there are severe contraints when it comes to selfstudy compared to a regular school and/or university (structure, peers, teachers, learning groups, tests, access to papers and so on) . I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
Yesterday, 9/5/2025, when I was surfing, I found an article The Schwarzschild solution contains three problems, which can be easily solved - Journal of King Saud University - Science ABUNDANCE ESTIMATION IN AN ARID ENVIRONMENT https://jksus.org/the-schwarzschild-solution-contains-three-problems-which-can-be-easily-solved/ that has the derivation of a line element as a corrected version of the Schwarzschild solution to Einstein’s field equation.
