Stunning clarity in his content and a deep style of delivery. In my experience, the best teachers are those that know their subject very deeply, and are effortlessly able to transport a willing student from the surface to the depths without the student even realizing it.
Will keep tuning into his lectures as and when time permits.
Thanks for sharing!

aanjaneya -- glad you enjoyed it. he has an entire course on QM, the bulk of which i have watched and made notes of when i was desperately looking for a low cost (in terms of time) brushing up of QM. he also has this series on classical physics which i am just beginning to watch. he's just fabulous. i just wish i had encountered him as a teacher earlier in life. i'm a huge fan.

leonard susskind at stanford has a series on similar subject matter, but i prefer prof balky's rigor to susskind's interesting but often hand waving presentation.

Thanks for sharing this. I had seen lectures by Dr Walter Lewin, on Magnetism, and they were good. I was amazed by the pains, he takes to clarify basic concepts.
