Walter Lewin's 8.01: Lecture 1

Category: Classical mechanicsPhysicsUniversity educationVideo
Posted on: June 29, 2009 8:00 AM, by Blake Stacey

I noticed a while back that the video recordings from Walter Lewin's introductory physics lectures are available via the Internet Archive's movie collection, which means that they can be embedded in the Blogohedron.

Click here to open a transcript of the above lecture in a new window.

And, talking of physics videos, I hear that Bill Gates just recently bought the rights to Feynman's Messenger Lectures, the ones which became the book The Character of Physical Law (1965), and plans to make them available ontube for free. That'll be nice.

I've been listening to the Susskind (Süsskind?) lectures linked from CV. Rather annoyingly the GR series isn't uploaded in full - it stopped just as it was getting good.

Been trying the Classical Mechanics now - that's something I should in principle have learned, but I can't seem to keep my attention on it. His students annoy me too ...

As a high school student who lacks a physics course, his lectures are great! And at the end of every lecture, he makes neat experiments, some of them quiet mind boggling. He really engages your mind. ^_^

Thanks for the Feynman link. Gates has made it more than just a collection of videos. Interesting concept.
