What resources are available for learning physics theory?

How did you find PF?

Hi all! I have an undergraduate background in physics and am currently an MBA/MS in Electrical Engineering student interested in quantum computing from a professional perspective, but I'm primarily here as a lifelong physics enthusiast. I especially love learning theory, but it's easy to get stuck on your own, so that's why I'm here!

Welcome to PF! Hopefully we can help you on your journey.

Have you looked at the Leonard Susskind Theoretical Minimum series of books and lectures? They are a good start for more serious learning beyond pop-sci but not at the graduate level.

Happy to be here! I just recently heard of the Theoretical Minimum. I'm actually sitting in on the Electrodynamics class that Susskind is teaching at school next quarter. Should be a great experience.

That's great! Is it an in-person visit by Suskind or a video-based seminar?

There's another good resource at this level: The Openstax textbook site with university-level books on Physics ie freshman level in three volumes (volume 1 below):
