UC Berkeley's 'Physics for Future Presidents'

The video above is the first of 26 in a series of lectures on physics.

Prof. Richard A. Muller of the University of California, Berkeley is the lecturer. Prof. Muller is quite an effective and interesting lecturer. The series is described by UC Berkeley as:

"Physics 10: Physics for Future Presidents. Spring 2006. Professor Richard A. Muller. The most interesting and important topics in physics, stressing conceptual understanding rather than math, with applications to current events. Topics covered may vary and may include energy and conservation, radioactivity, nuclear physics, the Theory of Relativity, lasers, explosions, earthquakes, superconductors, and quantum physics."

All of the 26 video lectures can be seen from here, here, and here.

If you'd like to give physics a second chance, the lecture series is a good place to start.

Hi! I am not sure if you know of my blog, but I have been collecting video lectures for 1.5 years now!

My blog is at Free Science Online.
(URL: http://freescienceonline.blogspot.com )

I have collected maths, physics, computer science, biology, engineering and many other lectures!

Hi CC,

Have you read Mark McCutcheon’s The Final Theory already? If yes, what can you say about his propositions? If no, maybe you should have. I personally haven’t read it yet, though. But his statements are very interesting.

Peteris,

Your site is definitely very interesting.

Will make links to your site in my future posts.

Thanks and regards,

Here is another good link for UC Berkeley videos:
http://video.google.com/ucberkeley.html

There are links there to the Google Video versions (better quality than YouTube) of the "Physics for Future Presidents", and several other courses. Also another good thing about the one's on Google Video site is that they are easily downloadable for play on iPod/Sony PSP or just to save & playback later from your hard drive. I guess there's also a benefit to the YouTube versions, you can subscribe to the playlists, but you can also kinda do that already with Google Video by subscribing to the RSS feed for the search I've listed below since any GV search has an RSS link.

I think you can find all of them with this search:
