AI Thread Summary
To re-engage with physics after a break, starting with online resources is recommended. YouTube offers a wealth of conceptual videos and tutorials, particularly in calculus and related mathematics, which are essential for understanding physics. For a more structured approach, consider specialized online courses, such as those by Lenny Susskind available on the Stanford channel, which cater to advanced topics like quantum mechanics and relativity. It's important to specify the desired focus area within physics and whether you prefer free resources or university-level courses to tailor the learning experience effectively.

I have forgotten physics in which I have done my Masters.Can anyone help how to start again?Any Online course?

Any Online course?

Hmm... Perhaps a youtube search, ole chap? I wouldn't look under "Masters of physics refresher," though. Things are a lot more specialized these days it seems. It basically breaks down like the subtopics on this website, quantum, relativity, classical, etc. If you are a master, though, I'd recommend Lenny Susskind's courses on the Stanford channel.
 
Masters means Graduate Course no. Plz. specify Physics is your subject or its brach, what type of online course you want Free, from university etc

How long ago did you do your Masters? Youtube would be a good place to start, lots of conceptual knowledgeable on there, plus loads of tutorials on calculus and the other relevant areas of mathematics you might be interested in. Is there anything in particular you are looking to refresh?
 

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?
