Professor Walter Lewin

If you are a student of physics, should never miss the lectures from professor Walter Lewin from MIT. It is freely available in MIT Open CourseWare portal and YouTube.
The lectures are more like events wherein he explains theory and performs relevant and terrific experiments in the stipulated 50 minutes time.


Thoroughly enjoyed his two thought provoking courses in classical mechanics and electricity and magnetism. After completing each of those sessions (around 71 sessions!!), I was convinced about the physics phenomenon he just covered really makes sense and relevant in the real world.

Topics - projectiles, uniform circular motion, Newton’s 3 law, weight, gravity, force, torque, simple harmonic motion, friction, hooke’s law, work, energy, momentum, angular momentum, inelastic and elastic collision, orbit, doppler effect, equilibrium, Archimedis, thermal expansion, ideal gas, Pascal, hydrostatic principle, Buoyancy, uncertainty principle, electric field, Gauss law, Magnetism, Electro magnetism, Light, Interference, Diffraction, Rainbow, Big bang
