Frederick Schuller's Lectures on Geometrical Anatomy of Theoretical Physics, https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPH7f_7ZlzxTi6kS4vCmv.... A meticulously organized series covering the math concepts needed to understand the ideas of modern physics. Not for the faint of heart, but well worth the effort.

I really wanted to watch this, but the video is unwatchable, it keeps buffering every few seconds, and the slides aren't showing at all. Many thanks to pron for linking the paper. Message to http://www.heidelberg-laureate-forum.org/ and all others who persist in using video players that don't work: maybe try youtube?

First, thank you Matthew and HN for a great resource. Re metadata, please don't "require" it. I agree it would be nice if posters could find a more search-friendly way of saying "no remote", but I think it would be a huge mistake to impose any sort of format or content requirements, or any other barriers that increase the hassle for posters. Even something innocuous like "please read these simple guidelines before posting", and I would predict the number of posts will go down significantly. Our goal as programmers should be to write filters that can handle free form data, within reason, not to force humans into rigid forms for the convenience of easy filtering. Please don't surrender yet another valuable tool to the HR everything-must-fit-in-its-box mindset.

The 'insider' complaining here is -- Oracle?? That would be the Oracle that is No. 58 in the PTO's list of the top 100 most prolific patenters? Who is the troll here?
