8.01x - MIT freshman physics lectures by Walter Lewin

Walter Lewin was for many years the lecture for the freshman physics courses at MIT, and recordings of his entertaining and enlightening lectures were provided with the MIT Open Courseware version of 8.01: Classical Mechanics. MIT deleted Lewin's lectures from the OCW website, but they live on on his own YouTube channel, which also has supplemental help sessions for 8.01x. The 8.01 videos are also available on the Internet Archive. (NOTE: I did not have entertaining Prof. Lewin as my freshman physics lecturer. I had boring Prof. Kleppner for the advanced Physics with Calculus track, and we used Prof. Kleppner's boring and expensive textbook. I survived, drowsed through many of the lectures, but wised up second semester and had a much better experience in 8.02: Electricity and Magnetism.)
