Excellent Videos!! Talks about everything you need to know
about classical physics before entering quantum
mechanics.Has a lot to teach.
tnak you sir
this provided me an independent way of doing physics on
global standards.it normalizes different different univ
standards.i am from a village, so this was only and
excellent way to learn......
really it is very helpful to give excellent exposure to all
students who want to work with true standards of science.
Title is perfect, and man he is extremely smart great
video!!!
