Physics course...online
Learn a new field of science or simply refresh. This was brought to my attention by POSP stringer Tim. Physics for the 21st Century was designed for adult learners, including high school teachers, undergraduates, and the interested public—college graduates who were non-science majors. For teachers, the course will look at advances in physics that have occurred since they took their college physics classes. For adult learners, it will help them appreciate cutting edge advances in physics research and their potential impact on everyday life. The goal of the course is to make accessible the most important unanswered questions of our time that are being investigated in a variety of areas of contemporary physics.Check it out and post your comments.Physics for the 21st CenturyAnd...Free Physics Books
