Walter Lewin, MIT professor emeritus of physics, has been viewed millions of times on sites like OpenCourseWare, YouTube, and beyond. His introductory physics courses explain the fundamentals, with Lewin often as the test subject. Over the years, Lewin has given more than 800 lectures in Room 26-100.
Physicist Walter Lewin shares his personal insights into major works of art from the first quarter of the 20th century.
The inimitable Walter Lewin gives a literally hair-raising performance in this MIT Museum lecture/demonstration for learners young and old.
An alternate title for this talk might be "Walter's World of Waves."

Walter Lewin's videotaped physics lectures have won him fans around the world. See why The New York Times calls him a "web star" in this video which highlights his popular teaching style during 8.01, a first-semester freshman physics class.
This learning video describes within an action orientation certain often difficult-to-understand concepts of Newtonian physics. The conservation of momentum is extended to rotational situations, and some of the results may be counter-intuitive! As Professor Lewin ...

Introduction video for Physics III: Vibrations and Waves In addition to the traditional topics of mechanical vibrations and waves, coupled oscillators, and electro-magnetic radiation, students will also learn about musical instruments, red sunsets, glories, coronae, rainbows, haloes, X-ray ...
Topics covered: Concepts covered in this lecture begin with the restoring force of a spring (Hooke's Law) which leads to an equation of motion that is characteristic of a simple harmonic oscillator (SHO). Using the small angle approximation, a similar expression is ...
Topics covered: The concepts introduced are: work, conservative forces, potential energy, kinetic energy, mechanical energy, and Newton's law of universal gravitation. Instructor/speaker: Prof. Walter Lewin Date recorded: October 4, 1999
Topics covered: This lecture covers resistive forces such as air drag. It includes the viscous (linear in velocity) and pressure (quadratic in velocity) terms. Quantitative demonstrations with balloons and with ball bearings dropped in syrup are shown. Instructor/speaker: Prof. Walter Lewin ...
