Quantum Physics For Everybody

Posted by kdawson on from the this-time-without-the-math dept.

fiziko writes in with a self-described "blatant self-promotion" of a worthwhile service for those wishing to go beyond Khan Academy physics: namely Bureau 42's Summer School. "As those who subscribe to the 'Sci-Fi News' slashbox may know, Bureau 42 has launched its first Summer School. This year we're doing a nine-part series (every Monday in July and August) taking readers from high school physics to graduate level physics, with no particular mathematical background required. Follow the link for part 1."

    Science without mathematics. Sounds like an Al Gore school.

    Oh certainly. I do agree with you. But discussing the concepts and principles is not graduate level physics, it's conceptual physics, which is what you teach to undergraduate poets and business majors. Nothing wrong with it, and it certainly is very important and worthwhile, but it is not graduate level physics, which is intended to prepare you to do actual novel physics research on your own.
