Description: Even if you don't, watch anyway. Maybe I’ll convince you. And if not, maybe I’ll impart some important skills or perspectives upon you. A lot of what I say can be applied not only to physics, but to other academic disciplines as well. Online resources for learning math: Khan Academy khanacademy.org/math patrickjmt youtube.com/user/patrickJMT Dr. Chris Tisdell youtube.com/user/DrChrisTisdell MIT Open Courseware youtube.com/user/MIT Here are some resources for learning physics (in order of increasing difficulty) Amateur (little to no math) A Briefer History of Time by Stephen Hawking The Grand Design by Stephen Hawking and Leonard Mlodinow The Elegant Universe by Brian Greene Cosmos by Carl Sagan Fearful Symmetry by Anthony Zee Recruit (some calculus, maybe a DiffEQ here or there) University Physics by Roger Freedman Physics (Vol 1 and 2) by Resnick, Halliday, and Krane Regular (know calculus cold, and have a good handle on DiffEQs) An Introduction to Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow Electricity and Magnetism by Purcell Classical and Statistical Thermodynamics by Ashley Carter Hardened (all of the “baby maths” should be second nature to you) Classical Mechanics by Taylor Introduction to Electrodynamics by Griffiths Introduction to Quantum Mechanics by Griffiths Introduction to Elementary Particles by Griffiths Veteran (you will not survive) A Modern Approach to Quantum Mechanics by Townsend Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell by Anthony Zee Studies indicating that studying in pairs is ideal: Hake, R.
