RECENT ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Jan 1, 10→Feb 28, 10

Viewed Online: Stanford Modern Physics Video Lectures--Classical Mechanics (9 lectures)  This Stanford Continuing Studies course explores the essential theoretical foundations of modern physics. The topics covered in this course focus on classical mechanics. The course is taught by Leonard Susskind, the Felix Bloch Professor of Physics at Stanford University.

Viewed Online: MIT Open Courseware Video Lectures--Single Variable Calculus (7 lectures)  The first seven lectures of this introductory calculus course covers differentiation of functions of one variable.

Viewed Online: MIT Open Courseware Video Lectures--Physics I-Classical Mechanics (30 lectures)  The video lectures by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Fall of 1999. Prof. Lewin is well known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.  It is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course.

Nov 1, 09→Dec 31, 09

Viewed Online: African Summer Theory Institute Lectures (63 lectures)  The 2004 ASTI was held in Cape Town, South Africa, 12th-30th January.  It was attended by Undergraduates, Graduate Students, Postdocs, Lecturers and High School Teachers. Its focus was "Fundamental Physics", with lectures, seminars, colloquia and discussions on Astronomy, Cosmology, Particle Physics, Black Holes and Quantum Gravity, and Superstring Theory.
