is a set of three courses including video lectures on Physics by MIT Physics Professor Walter Lewin . He explains in a fun and intellectual way the basics of Classical Mechanics , Electricity , Magnetism , Vibrations , Waves and introductory topics on Astrophysics . It was prepared in the Massachusetts Institute Of Technology and it has been used by more than four million students, teachers and self-learners around the world.
Lewin's lectures at , Electricity And Magnetism and Vibrations And Waves .
8.01 is a first-semester s, Neutron Star s, Black Hole s, Resonance Phenomena , Musical Instrument s, Stellar Collapse , Supernovae , Astronomical observations from very high flying Balloons (lecture 35), and a peek into the intriguing Quantum world.
The following links are the video lectures on Classical Mechanics , recorded at the MIT campus in the fall of 1999 . Note that some video lectures are still missing in Google Video . If you wish to see the missing videos, you can do so by visiting the MIT OCW 8.01 website here :
8.02 is a second-semester freshman Physics class in Electromagnetism at MIT . The 36 video lectures on Electricity and Magnetism , by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Spring of 2002 . Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.
