Update July 20th, 2007

Recently while watching various berkeley videos direct, I discovered a wide variety of source materials on the subject. Whiel it may not be every class, it looks like we might be one step closer to having a more well rounded freeware education.

i'll be checking things out for quality later, and it looks like i can direct outsource link several of the originals, with the added instrutions that you may desire to have real player, AND you may wish to maximize screen. The only problem i expeirenced was a low levle of audio, although most of you may be able to correct that problem with exceptional speakers.

Update June 23rd, 2007

Anthon has recovered the majority of links for educational videos and stumbled upon several more in the process. Unfortunately, at this time, the Caltech videos are still being rearchived on the source end, so only a fraction of those remain, however, the MIT listing is apparently far more vast than in previous months and the University has plans on further expansion. Additionally, Net - textbooks are being made available wherever possible. Of particular interest, is a free textbook titled Motion mountain, which can be downloaded in PDF format here. I have looked over this book and it appears to be quite a read, with several illustrations and historical references, and appears to meet the approval of several people at physicsforums.com

Alexandria, being commited to excellence in education, has attained this link : textbookrevolution.org and hopes future prospective University students will be willing to give them a go.

exclaim Update on the Problem listed Below: exclaim
After some research and observation, we have discovered an alternative pathway through MIT's ongoing educational program and are currently debating whether to provide links through a REALPLAYER (<-- this will probably be converted into a link to download realplayer) system for the video and WINAMP (<--this will probably turn into a Winamp download site) or if we should just provide direct link archives. We found similar materials at some other Universities, but are currently archiving. THe problem isn't setting up the system.

The problem is the instability of the internet source materials. Due to this instability, we encourage all members to study as much as they can while it is available, because it could be gone the next day.

Old News
Due to a recent transformation in the structure of google's archive time table, the vast majority of all lectures below no longer exist.
Meanwhile, a bit of scouring the net has yielded similar archives including one of the sets below (which will remain nameless) and we are seeing if it is possible to go directly to the source. In some cases we have made moderate progress in locating other subject materials such as Political Science and Anthropology, but will work on stabilizing the system before planning further video selections.

Until that time, we will maintain a broken archive system for naming purposes.







this functions as the base root for what will be a series of telecourses and guides for an ambitious project concerning mathematics, physics, and potential educational projects of the future.

It will consist of organized lecture links covering topics described above and beyond. It should be operational in skeletal form by the end of Sunday Evening, May 20th, 2007.

Title: MIT Physics Lecture: Classical Mechanics
University: MIT
Subject: Physics - Classical Mechanics
Lecturer: Walter Lewin

THe following links are all probably dead by now, due to a google revamp in the Month of June, 2007. However, this link should contain the original video lectures with additional material. A realplayer for .rm files is necessary.

Stanford Lectures (this post will eventually be revised to include a list of the range of videos and description plus the primary link)

http://www.stanford.edu/class/ee380/schedule.html

for now, let it be known this includes several video lectures at the graduate level, and may be of assistance. The subject matter is almost entirely Computer Engineering/Information technology, so if you are a programmer, or going into communications technology, AI theory, or attempting to become an effective PHREAKER/Hacker, this is the place for you.

some data mining has resulted in this bit of gold. I'll figure out how to sift it for relevance in the next several hours:
