Leonard Susskind : Quantum Mechanics

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers around Leonard Susskind's quantum mechanics lecture series, highlighting that while some videos are set to private, the first lecture is accessible without invitation. Users express disappointment over the private status of certain videos, but note that all ten lectures are available as free iTunesU podcasts. The series is described as relatively short, totaling around 20 hours, and is intended for continuing studies students. Some participants critique the lectures for lacking mathematical rigor and depth in concept exploration. Despite these criticisms, the series is recognized as a unique resource for quantum mechanics online.

They're set to private dx. A shame because they look and excellent resource.
 
(Must study scientific method). Its one of those days today. :redface:
 
what do you mean? I was able to watch all of them.
 
The first lecture video says its a private video and I can't watch. The others seem ok though.
 
From what I can tell, that listing is missing a video, too. All ten lectures are available as free iTunesU podcasts, as are Susskind's classical mechanics and special relativity lectures. I haven't watched them yet (on my to do list!), but just by looking at the lengths of the videos, it seems like a rather short class, with only 20 hours...Of course, it is called the "theoretical minimum" and is meant for continuing studies students.

The link on the play list doesn't seem to work but if you search for "leonard susskind quantum mechanics 1" on youtube and click on it there it works.
 
wow, this is great. I wasl looking for video lectures on quantum mechanics. Thanks for the link

His lectures aren't as mathematically rigorous as they should be and he doesn't really expand on any concepts. It's the only set of quantum mechanics lectures on the web though, so beggers can't be choosers.
