Excellent lectures. I applaud Prof. Bender for his patience and clarity of explanations. As a side note I see that only ~1/23 (as views ->23,000) of people who began watching stuck with it to the end. Congrats to those few - I'm sure the contained insight will be of benefit to all.
+Rubbergnome Does he cover the Method of Steepest Descent / Stationary Phase Approximation in any of these videos? If so, which? I tried clicking through a bunch of the videos, but didn't see it. I'm only interested in the lecture(s) that covers that topic. Thanks!
Oh my, sorry man I didn't see your comment at all! In any case no, he doesn't cover it, sorry. WKB is somewhat related to it though. Again, sorry for being so late!
started watching these series 3 times and 2 times went thru all the lectures. Including this current one, when I sort of remember most of the stuff, but watch it for the pleasure, rather than pure knowledge.
A very enjoyable course. I would very like to have it in a constructive way with definitions, propositions, theorems... However, really liked the way all this was linked with physical effects. And, of course, what a nice guy! Thank you for the course!
Just finished watching the series for the second time, excellent lectures! I will definitely read his book. I wish we studied this in university but we haven't. I feel like these techniques should be in all theoretical physicists' toolset, so elementary as differentiation or integration. Really powerful thing!
Thank you Professor Bender and the uploader of this series. I had tons of fun while learning these asymptotic approaches. Helped me a lot in making progress in my research as an undergrad.
Great lecture series. I'd recommend reading his book as well if you're interested. I have to say coolest part of this whole lecture series was sequence transformations, incredible stuff.
Agree with ExtaxT, an excellent course with a gifted teacher, well worth sticking to the end. I think I finally understand perturbation. My only nit-pick is that a better title for this course would be something like Perturbation Theory rather than Mathematical Physics. Incidentally, the students appear to be on the ball as well.
62 pages of notes later, I finished the best math course there is on YT.
I'm so glad the applause at the end was as long as it was. This lecture series was so great. I'll always hold this dear to my heart.

That's the third time I've watched the whole thing. It's just that brilliant. Bender is an amazing teacher and this stuff makes you damn powerful!
+Rubbergnome He charge us his energy and power to learn more!

Lecturer knows the importance of motivating students and making lessons interesting!

+Bigdad Bid After lectures i gonna read his book) He is the best teacher i've ever listened to
He makes people more power in math by his lectures!

What an amazing teacher and an interesting subject.

What an interesting lecture series, Just bought Dr.Bender's book to continue further !!
The whole series told one thing: it took excellent professor and excellent students/postdocs in one place to advance science findings.

Great course! I get so interested that I bought the book. Great course
Is there a second season to this show? I watched all 15 episodes in 6 days ...
Another way of handling mathematics knowledge
Thank you very much Prof. Bender!
