Dmitry Podolsky has got his PhD from Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics. He currently works as postdoc at Case Western Reserve University. He is also one of the editors of NEQNET.

Fun to watch even for professional physicist – he also effectively teaches quite well how to present the subject. The lectures are quite extended (more than 1 hr 30 min each), so I’ll post one part today and another – tomorrow.

    Dear Dmitry, I don’t want to try to teach you, pretending to being a more experienced blogger :-) , but I think that four embedded videos in one post is too much.

    Have you considered linking playlists instead? For example, this one

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v.....playnext=1

    plays the relativity lectures and you will also find that there are eight of them. Many videos that have many parts already have the playlists somewhere – for example, see all Stanford channel’s playlists here

    http://www.youtube.com/profile.....=playlists

    but you may also create your own playlists. You will surely figure out how to do it, it’s below each video (Add to a playlist).

    Best wishes
    Lubos

      Dear Lubos,

      I was thinking about posting other 4 tomorrow… I have a question – can I embed playlist or just link to it?

      Cheers,
      Dmitry.

    OK, I don’t really know how to embed a video so that it jumps to the next in the playlist – although I bet it’s possible.

    You can always embed the first video and link to the playlist (either starting from 1st or 2nd video). ;-)

    I have always admired Lenny. He teaches it almost identically as I would! ;-)

      Thanks for your note! I actually learned how to embed playlists – it turned out to be trivial as you expected.

      From now on – just a single video per post.

      Cheers,
      Dmitry.
