Some good physics educators on youtube?

[starstruck_]

HI!

I'm in first year physics right now doing the second part of my course - electricity and electromagnetism, and I'm REALLY struggling. This is mostly due to the fact that other than very basic, grade 11 circuits, I had no base going into electricity for first year physics because my teacher didn't get to it at all.

When we're doing things in our tutorial (like when my professor brings in objects for us to play around with), I am somewhat able to figure out what's going on, but I'm not confident with my approach.

If anyone knows of any specific educators on youtube who do a good job of explaining concepts in detail, could you please let me know?

Some of the youtube videos I've found don't explain the concept really well.
Thank you!

Veritasium is one of the best. Also, vsauce, Physics girl and minute physics are great. As you check these channels out you’ll notice that they collaborate with another and so you’ll be able find more great folks.

Numberphile, computerphile and other Brady Harlan channels are good for math, and computer tech.

3blue1brown is great for math and physics theory. He has two fantastic sequences of videos Essence of Calculus, and Essence of Linear Algebra that you have to see.

Www.mathispower4u.com lists 5000 YouTube videos teaching prealgebra to first college calculus, diff eqns, linear algebra and statistics in 10 minute chunks.

Thank you so much!

Also, thank you so much for the linear algebra ones! I took the course last term and tried to teach myself but uh don’t remember much, and I need it to do data reduction - forgot all about it!

A couple of more that I forgot:

mathologer

PBS Infinite Series math and science...

blackpenredpen for calculus problems...
