Our exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of modern physics begins with classical mechanics, the mathematical physics worked out by Isaac Newton (1642--1727) and later by Joseph Lagrange (1736--1813) and William Rowan Hamilton (1805--1865). We will start with a discussion of the allowable laws ofphysics
THE EQUIVALENCE PRINCIPLE AND TENSOR ANALYSIS The principle of equivalence of gravity and acceleration, or gravitational and inertial mass is the fundamental basis of general relativity. This was Einstein's key insight. Professor Susskind begins the first lecture of the course with Einstein's derivation of this equivalence principle. He then moves on to the mathematics of general RENORMALIZATION CONCEPTS, AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS March 29, 2010. In the first lecture of the series Professor Susskind introduces the concept of renormalization, which allows elimination of as yet unknown physics at very tiny scales or high energies from our calculations of physics at accessible scales. He also connects dimensional analysis to the set of possible Lagrangians for ourtheories.
LAGRANGIAN FOR MAXWELL'S EQUATIONS June 11, 2012. Professor Susskind begins the lecture by solving Maxwell's equations for electromagnetic plane waves. He then uses the principles of action, locality and Lorentz invariance to develop the Lagrangian for electrodynamics for the special case without charges or currents. Using the Euler-Lagrange equations with this Lagrangian, he STATE DIAGRAMS AND THE NATURE OF PHYSICAL LAWS September 26, 2011. This first lecture is a general discussion of the nature of the laws of physics and in particular classical mechanics.

CLASSICAL FIELD THEORY Professor Susskind moves on from relativity to introduce classical field theory. The most commonly studied classical field is the electromagnetic field; however, we will start with a less complex field - one in which the field values only depends on time - not on any spatial dimensions. GEODESICS AND GRAVITY A geodesic is a path that is locally as straight as possible, which means that the derivative of the tangent vector is equal to zero at every point. Professor Susskind then moves on to relate the mathematics of Riemannian geometry (which we have been studying so far) to spacetime. Spacetime is represented by Minkowski space, whichhas a
PARTICLE PHYSICS 1: BASIC CONCEPTS (FALL, 2009) Particle Physics 1: Basic Concepts. Fall, 2009. Revolutionary new concepts about elementary particles, space and time, and the structure of matter began to emerge in the mid-1970s. Theory got far ahead of experiment with radical new ideas such as grand unification and supersymmetry, but the concepts have never been experimentally tested. UNCERTAINTY, UNITARY EVOLUTION, AND THE SCHRÖDINGER Professor Susskind then demonstrates how to solve the Schrödinger equation for a general quantum mechanical system. This solution is the origin of the connection between the energy of a system and oscillations of the wave function. This is the Heisenberg matrix formulation of quantum mechanics. The lecture concludes by solving apractical
SPECIAL RELATIVITY AND ELECTRODYNAMICS (SPRING, 2012 Spring, 2012. In 1905, while only twenty-six years old, Albert Einstein published "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies" and effectively extended classical laws of relativity to all laws of physics, even electrodynamics. In this course, we will take a close look at the special theory of relativity and also at classical fieldtheory.

SUPPLEMENTAL COURSES| THE THEORETICAL MINIMUM The Theoretical Minimum courses include a core sequence of six courses, plus a set of supplemental courses that teach additional related material. The core sequence is currently being repeated with Statistical Mechanics being taught during Spring quarter, 2013. MOTION IN AN ELECTROMAGNETIC FIELD According to Liouville's theorem, a system evolving according to Hamilton's equations conserves the volume of phase space. Information is conserved. The Principle of Least Action underlies Lagrangian and Hamiltonian methods. Investigate motion in an electromagnetic field. Demonstrate gauge invariance. Link time invariance and energyconservation.
EINSTEIN FIELD EQUATIONS November 26, 2012. Professor Susskind derives the Einstein field equations of general relativity. Beginning with Newtonian gravitational fields, an analogy with the four-current, and the continuity equation, he develops the stress-energy tensor (also known as the energy momentum tensor). Putting these concepts together andgeneralizing the
ENTROPY AND CONSERVATION OF INFORMATION In this sense, the conservation of information is more fundamental that other physical quantities such as temperature or energy. Professor Susskind then moves on to continuous systems and phase space, and Liouville's theorem. The lecture concludes with the presentation of formulas for computing entropy, and some examples. PRESSURE OF AN IDEAL GAS AND FLUCTUATIONS Professor Susskind derives the formula for the pressure of an ideal gas. He begins by introducing the Helmholtz free energy, and the concept of adiabatic processes. These concepts lead to the definition of pressure as the change of energy with volume at a fixed entropy, and then to the famous equation of state for an ideal gas: pV = NkT. RENORMALIZATION CONCEPTS, AND DIMENSIONAL ANALYSIS March 29, 2010. In the first lecture of the series Professor Susskind introduces the concept of renormalization, which allows elimination of as yet unknown physics at very tiny scales or high energies from our calculations of physics at accessible scales. He also connects dimensional analysis to the set of possible Lagrangians for ourtheories.

QUANTUM MECHANICS (WINTER, 2012) Winter, 2012. Quantum theory governs the universe at its most basic level. In the first half of the 20th century physics was turned on its head by the radical discoveries of Max Planck, Albert Einstein, Niels Bohr, Werner Heisenberg, and Erwin Schroedinger.

In this set of lectures Professor Susskind gives an introduction to String Theory, which he describes as a mathematical framework for theories that unify all the forces of nature, including gravity.

Fall, 2011. Our exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of modern physics begins with classical mechanics, the mathematical physics worked out by Isaac Newton (1642--1727) and later by Joseph Lagrange (1736--1813) and William Rowan Hamilton (1805--1865).
