General Learning Resources

A perfect starting place for learning any new intermediate or advanced topic in theoretical physics, these notes will also likely encapsulate any subject you may need a refresher on. Browse type-set lecture notes on classical mechanics, relativity, quantum mechanics, particle physics, quantum information, fluid mechanics, condensed matter, string theory, and much more. There's even an introductory course in vector calculus for undergraduates looking to study E&M. Beautifully organized, beautifully written.

The MIT Lecture Series for the typical second half of quantum mechanics (i.e. the back half of Griffiths). Includes videos, lecture notes, and problem sets. Topics include Time Independent and Dependent Perturbation Theory, Hydrogen Atom Fine Structure, Scattering, Identical Particles, Semi-Classical Approximations, and Adiabatic Approximations. Very useful for those wanting another lecturing resource for undergraduate/graduate quantum mechanics.

A blog by professor and author David D. Nolte based on his book Galileo Unbound which elegantly explores famous physical concepts/equations and the history behind them. Covering a variety of topics spanning dynamics, chaos, machine learning, and quantum phenomena, Professor Nolte explores the circumstances and thought experiments that led to some of the most revolutionary ideas of modern physics.
