Lecture 1 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. He is a world renown theoretical physicist and uses graphs to help demonstrate the theories he is presenting.

Lecture 2 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind discusses how the forces that act upon strings can affect the quantum mechanics. He also reviews many of the theories of relativity that contributed to string theory today.

Lecture 3 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind reviews harmonic oscillators, the spin of massless particles (photons and gravitons), the low lying spectrum of strings, the tachyon problem, and the basics of string interactions.

Lecture 4 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the string theory and particle physics. During this lecture he focuses on closed string theory as opposed to open string theory.

Lecture 5 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind delivers a lecture concerning plonck variables and how they relate to string theory in the context of modern physics.

Lecture 6 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind focuses on the different dimensions of string theory and the effect it has on the theory.

Lecture 7 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind discusses the specifics of strings including Feynman diagrams and mapping particles.

Lecture 8 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind covers the history of path/surface integrals; conformal mapping; application of conformal mapping in string scattering.

Lecture 9 String Theory and M-Theory

Leonard Susskind gives a lecture on the constraints of string theory and gives a few examples that show how these work.

Lecture 10 String Theory and M-Theory

Professor Leonard Susskind continues his discussion on T-Duality; explains the theory of D-Branes; models QFT and QCD; and introduces the application of electromagnetism.
