I have watched several of these and they are actually quite good in a general sense. Not too much scary math, more of an over view of how things work.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

I have gone through them and they were an excellent refresher course, wittty and engaging although a bit lacking in newtonian mechanics and theromdynamics. He does a very good job of distilling the arcane worlds of quantum mechanics and relativity to easy to understand concepts, being able to reproduce the maths of this is one thing but having these ideas explained so clearly has been great for me.
