Abstract:
This course features lecture notes, problem sets with solutions, exams with solutions, links to related resources, and a complete set of videotaped lectures. The 35 video lectures by Professor Lewin, were recorded on the MIT campus during the Fall of 1999. Prof. Lewin is well-known at MIT and beyond for his dynamic and engaging lecture style.
8.01 is a first-semester freshman physics class in Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory. In addition to the basic concepts of Newtonian Mechanics, Fluid Mechanics, and Kinetic Gas Theory, a variety of interesting topics are covered in this course: Binary Stars, Neutron Stars, Black Holes, Resonance Phenomena, Musical Instruments, Stellar Collapse, Supernovae, Astronomical observations from very high flying balloons (lecture 35), and you will be allowed a peek into the intriguing Quantum World.
OpenCourseWare also presents Professor Lewin's freshman physics course series 8.02 - Electricity and Magnetism - with a complete set of 36 video lectures from the Spring of 2002 and 8.03 - Vibrations and Waves - with a complete set of 23 video lectures from the Fall of 2004.

Reviews
- How did you use this material?
I used this material for personal review and interest.
- Clarity
The clarity is excellent. The professor is engaging and uses examples to help explain physics in way that is easy to understand and very interesting.
- Exemplary Features
The interface is very well done for this course. Each video lecture has an index, listing what is discussed in each segment, and when the segment starts.
- How would you recommend using this material?
I would either show the demonstrations from the lectures to students, or use the demonstrations as ideas for my own examples for the class.
