SEMINAR VIDEOS
(Last Updated: March 2, 2006)
This page is dedicated to my anonymous sponsor. Thank you very much and enjoy the knowledge.
Following is a
list of sites which you can watch physics seminars by streaming video.
It usually not known by most of the community that you can find so much
seminars on the web free. You can schedule yourself a weekly colloquia.
I would appreciate any contributions to this page.
UNIVERSITY COLLECTIONS
MIT
