AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the desire to retake a physics course focused on wave phenomena, specifically using the Berkeley Physics Series, Volume 3 by Dr. Crawford. The original course materials and notes are no longer available, and the Berkeley Physics Department has transitioned to different teaching methods and textbooks. The main request is for recommendations on finding an online course that aligns with the traditional approach of Dr. Crawford's teachings and utilizes the specified textbook. Suggestions for resources, links, or ideas to achieve this goal are welcomed.

During my B.S./Physics I largely missed course # 3, which (back then) was entirely based on the Berkeley Physics Series, Volume 3 (Waves), by Dr. Crawford. I would *really* like to retake this course, using this book (even though it apparently is out of style nowadays). Unfortunately, Dr. Crawford has left us, his class notes were lost/destroyed, and the Berkeley Physics Dept has moved on to other approaches to teaching wave phenomena (theory and applications), and other textbooks.

Any suggestions for finding an online-accessible waves course taught in the "old" style, using this book? Thanks in advance for any links, suggestions, or ideas.
 

Thread 'Self Learning Math/Physics'

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"...

Thread 'What should I do if I found a paper with same result as mine?'

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. This article's date received is 2022-11-15...
