AI Thread Summary
There is a search for online calculus-based physics classes, with suggestions to check local universities for distance education options. However, there are reservations about the effectiveness of online courses compared to traditional in-person classes. Stanford's EPGY program is mentioned as a reputable option, but the consensus is that nothing can fully replace the experience of attending classes in person.

online physics class??

I'm trying to find an online calculus based physics class. Any links would greatly appreciated.

What do you mean an online calculus based physics class? Like distance education? You would have to contact your local university and see if they offer distance education, but I don't think it is recommended.
 
I've heard stanford's EPGY program is of some respect. but again nothing is a substitute for the real thing.
 
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
