100 Best Lectures On Physics and Mathematics
A compilation of my Twitter threads on free online resources
Most of you reading this story must already know that I am pretty fond of using Twitter. I use it as a mini science blog where I keep posting threads on various physics and mathematics disciplines. The threads primarily consist of YouTube videos, pdf resources, Internet Archives resources, Journals, and websites that are freely accessible to anyone connected to the internet. Some of the threads are from basics to advance while some are categorized on the basis of the topics under the discipline. What I personally believe is that one should know how to choose and filter the information available out there and use it to the best of one’s potential. Everything is free if you know how to look and where to look. Most of my academic education has been a result of self-study. This doesn’t mean that one should completely ignore a college education. It’s important you keep in constant touch with the teachers and professors and approach them whenever necessary.
In this story, I shall be compiling some of my best Twitter threads on the resources that I have explored and found useful in my learning experience. The threads range from topics in physics to mathematics, and even computation that you can refer to as per your use and requirement.
Thread on Quantum Mechanics
Quantum mechanics is the scientific study of atomic and sub-atomic particles and one of the foundations of modern physics along with Einstein’s general relativity. The following thread includes lecture videos from Operator formalism in quantum mechanics to quantum entanglement.
Thread on Calculus
Calculus is an integral discipline in Mathematics and without it, most Physics cannot be understood mathematically. Advanced calculus leads the mathematical aspects of physics and hence it’s important to have knowledge of differential and integral calculus to learn both classical and quantum physics.
Thread on Particle and Nuclear Physics
Since the invention of the particle accelerators, the characterization and understanding of particles have been an important endeavor in physics and our overall understanding of the universe. Particles and their interactions play a key role in several physical phenomena that we see in our daily lives.
Thread on Free Feynman Lectures
Richard Feynman was a prolific explainer of science. He is considered to be one of the greatest theoretical physicists of the 20th century. I became a huge fan of Dr. Feynman after listening to his lectures and his way of explaining things has had a huge impact on my life. In this thread, I have compiled all of Feynman’s lectures that are freely available out there.
Thread on Astrophysics and Cosmology
Astrophysics is the study of large-scale structures of the universe and their dynamics in space while cosmology studies the beginning of the universe, the development, and ultimate fate of the universe. This area of physics incorporates several other disciplines of physics and mathematics.
Thread on string theory and M-theory
String and M-theory are comparatively recent developments in Physics that provide several new insights into our understanding of how the universe works. One of the most promising theories we have today that can potentially combine gravity with all the remaining fundamental forces of nature combining general relativity and quantum mechanics. We do not have any experimental confirmation of these theories but they are intriguing and provide great insights.
Thread on Mathematical disciplines
Mathematics is the best language that we can use to understand nature and the universe around us. In this thread, I have provided links to several areas of mathematics from linear algebra to mathematical analysis, topology and geometry to number theory and game theory.
