Some useful and diverse open-access material for students, encompassing mathematics, physics and more.

Learn and practice mathematics:

• The well-known forum Les Mathématiques, interesting for any needs you may have during your studies.
• Gilles Bailly Maitre’s Maths Adultes, amazing for learning advanced maths (very useful for studying at the last minute).
• The channel of Fares Maalouf for courses and exercises up to master’s degree.
• My brilliant student Benjamin B. recommended the channel Mathematics Academy, held by Joël Chaskalovic, for master’s degree courses.
• Bibm@th & Exo7, useful websites with loads of corrected exercises and some lesson sheets.
• A must for calculus: BlackPenRedPen.
• YouTube channel of Axel Arno, promoting maths and its history.
• Flammable Maths for serious and less serious maths videos.
• If you want to get advices and be successful in your maths studies, check Lucas Willems channel.

Learn and practice physics:

• E-Learning Physique, the best videos to learn physics for bachelor’s degree and engineering schools competition, created by the amazing Benoît Hébert (he tragically left us in February 2020).
• A very pedagogic yet challenging channel: Scientia Egregia, to learn more about advanced theoretical physics.
• Cartoonistic and playful physics concepts in Minute Physics.
• University courses from the brilliant Richard Taillet.

Visualizing fluid mechanics:

• Some old yet amazing videos from National Committee for Fluid Mechanics Films;
• An entire website dedicated to fluid mechanics: eFluids.

Learn and practice programming:

• Dominique Liar’s Koor to learn pretty much any programming language you want (notions are always presented with code examples).
• A more specialized website with free lessons: Learn C++.

Scientific vulgarization:

• Channel of Aurélien Barreau for amazing talks about physics, maths, sciences and ecology.
• Physics and maths entertaining videos with Tibees.
• Blog and YouTube channel of David Louapre, for physics, maths, informatics…
• Micmaths from Mickaël Launay proposing videos on playful aspects of maths.

Useful tools:

• To start using Latex, the best way is probably to use Overleaf, that allows to write online, and provides a lot of cool templates to start with. Use this document to get all the notations you may need.
• For PDFs conversions and more, use iLovePDF.
• Encrypted codes to break ? Or just curious ? Go to dCode.
• If you’re interested in steganography, go to Pelock.
