SUMMARY

This discussion focuses on the best online resources for video lectures and informative movies in physics. Key recommendations include MIT's OpenCourseWare for classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism, accessible at http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-01Physics-IFall1999/VideoLectures/index.htm and http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/Physics/8-02Electricity-and-MagnetismSpring2002/VideoLectures/index.htm, respectively. Additional resources include a collection of Feynman lectures available on platforms like Google Video and YouTube, as well as the Vega Science Trust's offerings at http://www.vega.org.uk. The discussion highlights the extensive nature of these resources, encouraging users to explore selectively.

PREREQUISITES

USEFUL FOR

Students, educators, and self-learners interested in physics and science education, particularly those seeking high-quality video lectures and resources online.

Maxwells Demon
Hi Everyone..

I want to learn some physics and I can't wait for school to teach me..

Do you know any good places on the Internet that got video lectures, or just informative movies??

Please post all the links you know :)

Thanks

There are some others, too. One of the members of PF has compiled a list of links somewhere, but I'm not able to recall that site right now.

Please try to find it :)
 
That seems like a great collection of videos. If anybody knows of others, particularily in math and calculus, I'd be interested in knowing.

Here is the nicest collection of links I know of, thanks to Serkan Cabi. You can never get through them in your lifetime, so you'll have to be selective.

Nice collection indeed. :approve: Thanks.

You're welcome. Serkan Cabi is my hero. Just cruise around there and find really interesting and compelling lectures by Roger Penrose, Rocky Kolb, Michael Strauss...it goes on and on.
 
Feynman Videos

Hi, I'm new (as a member) here and don't know if any of you are interested but I came across this really good science video site the other day and just thought I'd pass it on :)

It's run by a group called the Vega Science Trust and they seem to have videos about all sorts of science topics but I was mainly there to watch the stuff by Richard Feynman (http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/8) and Harry Kroto (http://www.vega.org.uk/video/subseries/16)

The main site is at http://www.vega.org.uk - enjoy

Turbo-1,

You seem to have a good knowledge of Cabi's huge video link collection. Could you suggest any good order in which they may be tackled? Thanks.

Is it my internet connection or MIT server so much lagged?
