Physics websites between A level and Undergraduate

Does anyone one know any websites where I can read physics in more depth than the standard A level revision sites, that includes all the calculus and other things that A level physics ignores.

It's help with exams and uni interview questions. Thanks :smile:

This book is pretty good.

It probably is pretty good but £44 is about £44 too much for me at the minute. Thanks for the reply though

I'd also appreciate if anyone knew any good sites like this. Currently I'm watching through some videos on MIT open courseware http://ocw.mit.edu/courses/mathematics/18-01-single-variable-calculus-fall-2006/video-lectures/lecture-32-polar-coordinates/ but that's more maths really.

It's hard finding anything that's right isn't it :/ but I'll give these a go, the maths is what I'm focusing on now anyway.

*Facepalm* I've also been forgetting about this:
http://www.physics.ox.ac.uk/olympiad/PastForStudents.html
(Hopefully that loads a resource titled 'upgrade your physics'). That's pitched at A level students who are trying to prepare for undergraduate courses, I think.

Have you got a town library?

Yeah but it's focused towards old people and half of the books have titles like "How to Use a Keyboard" or are the autobiography of Noel Edmonds (shudder)

That is exactly what I'd been looking for, thank you so much.

They'll order you a book for a small amount of money.

Websites are alright but I still think a good book is better

Really? I did not know that, I'll have to look into it when I'm free. That sounds like such a useful system, strange it isn't promoted more.

Yeah I know what you mean, books are much better to read and learn from.
