 Video Lectures

Several excellent video lectures by eminent professors at the international level are available in the net; at MIT, NPTEL etc; those of Prof. R. Shankar of Yale University are particularly interesting in view of the humerous style of presentation and the coverage of topics relevant to your two core Physics courses.  Given below are also some other links of interest.  

                    Prof. Shankar's Lectures

                None other than Feynman here!

                The Wonder Professor Walter Lewin

                A lecture on gradient from IITB  

                Prof. H. C Verma on Coriolis Force

                 Fantastic MIT pendulum etc
