Astrophysics: Frontiers and Controversies – Audio – Charles Bailyn
(ASTR 160) This course focuses on three particularly interesting areas of astronomy that are advancing very rapidly: Extra-Solar Planets, Black Holes, and Dark Energy. Particular attention is paid to current projects that promise to improve our understanding significantly over the next few years. The course explores not just what is known, but what is currently not known, and how astronomers are going about trying to find out.
This course was recorded in Spring 2007.
Quantum Physics II – Barton Zwiebach
The collection includes twenty six video lectures. Together, this course and 8.06 Quantum Physics III cover quantum physics with applications drawn from modern physics. Topics covered in this course include the general formalism of quantum mechanics, harmonic oscillator, quantum mechanics in three-dimensions, angular momentum, spin, and addition of angular momentum.
Intimate Relationships – UCLA
Families and Couples: Psychology M176: Professor Benjamin Karney lectures on families and couples. This course examines relationships and their connection to individual psychopathology, marital discord, and family disruption.
iBiology – https://www.ibiology.org
Lecturers generously donate their time to prepare these lectures. The project is funded by NSF and NIGMS, and is supported by the UCSF and HHMI.
Free, on-demand lectures: Many universities/colleges have limited access to high profile leaders in biological research. Our goal is to add 45 seminars per year, of similar quality to outstanding lectures that are currently in this library. Access, through web streaming or download, is completely free-of-charge. Please help us keep this resource free by subscribing to the podcasts, giving us a rating, and leaving your comments at the bottom of the collection pages. Thanks!
Targeting a broad audience, our talks start with an extended introduction, making them accessible to non-specialists and students, and then progress to cover current research. Senior scientists and students can view and enjoy these lectures.
Education: our talks are being used by undergraduate and graduate teachers to augment their classroom material. We have now added an education component to this web site (including lecture notes, questions/answers and short video clips for teaching).
International communication: our talks have viewers in 115 countries and they are being internally promoted in several countries as an educational tool and scientific resource.
