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 '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 'Considering the change from CMP to AMO'

I have a specialization in condensed matter physics and materials physics, and off-late, I have been seeing a lot of research directions moving towards quantum computing (AMO and non-linear optics) and the huge chunk of quantum materials research (and funding) is dedicated towards QIS and QC research. I am wondering (sort of in a dilemma), if I should consider switching my field? I am currently at the stage of a postdoc.
