Re: [Phys-L] quantum physics

I agree Anthony, and was referring to JD’s links to the NZ lectures which are
pretty low mathematical — they’re really a chalk rehash of his QED book.  The
Cassiopeia shorts may be what you want for your students, and those rehash
QED and action via some nice animations without college math.
