These are the 5 classes that I think best represent my scientific mutt background as a chemist who found his way into experimental physics :)

* Organic Synthesis
* Quantum Chemistry
* Mathematical Methods for Physicists II
* Statistical Mechanics
* Quantum Physics of Atoms
Oooh, this one's fun because my education has been quite the journey haha!

Five classes I took in college:
-Introduction to Drama
-Hong Kong Cinema
-Cosmology
-Quantum Chemistry
-Solid State Physics
Five (non-physics and astro) classes I took in college:
- STEM education
- Food and Power
- Digital Electronics
- Gender Topics in Native American Life
- Philosophy of Science

Also, Balakrishnan's lecture series "Selected Topics in Mathematical Physics" begins with the most careful exposition of complex analysis I've ever seen aimed towards physicists in about ten lectures. I've never watched beyond that, but I'm told the rest is excellent ^^.

Helo ^^. One of my favourites is Carl Bender's lectures on mathematical physics. He introduces a bunch of powerful tools for making (non-numerical) headway with problems that do not have closed form solutions (perturbation theory, WKB, multiple scales, etc). It's a really fun watch :).

This was one of the first books I read after moving to the West of Scotland back in 2015. :)
