Link for the boyfriend
Dec. 19th, 2005 03:43 pmGot this off the campus infolist; someone sends out links to teaching resources periodically. Anyway, there's a 3-hr mini-series from PBS on the Elegant Universe--String Theory. The email said it's all online. Have fun!

There is another book called "A First course in String Theory" that is pretty good, but uses a few to many big words for me :) I can't remember the author's name
I also like this web page http://www.superstringtheory.com/
and my inner geek is really showing, so I will shut up now :)
