Your favourite educational STEM channels

I didn’t have TV (thankfully) growing up, and instead spent my youth learning programming, game development and hacking from yt. I struggled with math in school, but visual resources like 3blue1brown have literally changed my life and unlocked a deeper level of understanding that I was never able to achieve through wrote memorization of formulas with no context or application. Now I’ve become an autodidact and I may have a yt addiction…;p

Anywho, I keep finding more and more amazing resources I wanted to share. Here is a curated list of my favorite high quality technical channels. List will be mastered → here.

WARNING: you might learn something :stuck_out_tongue:


Math / Physics

Game Dev: math / vectors / shaders / engines / rendering

Machine Learning

Networking

Linux

Comp-sci, Programming

Low level: Reverse Engineering, Hacking, CTF’s, Malware Analysis, Embedded

Security Conferences

Security Podcasts

EE & RF :zap:

SDR

Lasers, Plasma, “big electricity”

Repair

Misc Science / Physics / Eng / Mech and other cool stuff

Space :artificial_satellite: :ringer_planet:

Music Theory and music + math + programming :notes:


and another big repo:

awesome :sunglasses:

Focused university courses:


No particular order, I’ll need to work on the categorization…

I accidentally posted philosophy lectures.

In pennance I submit 3blue1brown. Some of the coolest maths/stats visualizations I have ever seen.

I guess Philosophy falls under humanities so… Not stem?

I didn’t want to get into that bitter argument lol :laughing:

Here it is anyway.

Those old 90s lectures are great. Not sure about the more recent streams.

He died recently.

Surprised no mention of Asianometry, IMO one of the best on youtube.

:skull_and_crossbones: right at the top too

For the love of Pete… I can do this!

Leo Susskind, an exceptional lecturer. Too bad about string theory…
Intro Quantum Mechanics: https://youtube.com/watch?v=iJfw6lDlTuA

Robert Sapolsky, another great lecturer in my opinion.

Human Behavioural Biology… this may be more useful than you initially think… Sapolsky is a special guy.

Those series are not for the faint of heart I guess, they’re a real college semester as the Yanks say (I think?), but I encourage you to try it out.

these awseome lists are… awesome!

Philosophy is part of thinking and learning. We could have a section for it why not? post em

Susskind also has a really cool series on the Stanford channel for intro Cosmology

I did, just very hidden

I’m suprised to see Issac wasn’t already here.

Also I recently discovered this for cosmology.

It’s almost as if yt is a big place :smiley:

I like Isaac despite his voice but it seems that he falls under futurology/science fiction and thus ultimately, entertainment and not a real STEM channel.
