Lecture 3 | The Theoretical Minimum

Felix Bloch Professor of Theoretical Physics

1:40:39·2012·undergraduate level

This lecture, part of Susskind's 'Theoretical Minimum' series, introduces the mathematical foundations of vectors and operators, demonstrating their application in both classical and quantum mechanical formalisms to link the two domains.

January 23, 2012 - In this course, world renowned physicist, Leonard Susskind, dives into the fundamentals of classical mechanics and quantum physics. He discovers the link between the two branches of physics and ultimately shows how quantum mechanics grew out of the classical structure. In this lecture, he works through some of the mathematics behind vectors and operators as used in physics.
