Good, I like that you share this video, I wish success always Leonard Susskind lectures on a new class of systems, magnetic systems.

Yeah. I have learned a lot of things. This has been very useful to me.

Mr Susskind mentions notes he distributed online. Anybody know where to get those?

[danomicky]

i agree these sessions are very informative

It's crazy to me that we get to listen to such a famous physicist informally teach a class for free and all most people can talk about is the cookies! I've learned more in these 10 undergraduate classes than I did in my thermo and stat mech classes combined.

Thank you for posting these videos!
