University-Level Physics Video Lectures: Pre-Med Students Suggestions

AI Thread Summary
For pre-med students seeking university-level physics lectures, several recommendations were made beyond Walter Lewin, Ramamurti Shankar, and Khan Academy. Stanford's video lectures, particularly those by Leonard Susskind, were highlighted as excellent resources. Susskind's lectures cover a range of topics including classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and cosmology, and can be found on YouTube by searching for "Leonard Susskind lecture number 'n'" to access specific topics. However, some participants noted that after viewing these lectures, students should focus on solving problems from textbooks, as further lectures may not significantly enhance understanding.

If some pre-med students want to study Physics by watching university-level video lectures on Physics-1 (Classical Mechanics) and Physics-2 (Electricity & Magnetism), what site would you suggest to them? (They already know of Walter Lewin, Ramamurti Shankar and Khan Academy). Can you suggest any other good universities with video lectures for physics?

You can try with Stanford video lectures. You can find these lectures on youtube, write Leonard Susskind (the professor) lecture number "n" . You'll find lectures on classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, cosmology and so on...:smile:

At that level you won't be able to find anything better. If you already watched those lectures you should just do problems from a textbook.Watching any more lectures won't help you much.

Thanks. I see many lectures by Leonard Susskind. What do you mean by lecture number "n" - can't find those - do you have a link?
 
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...
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...
