Have you tried the Yahoo database <URL: http://www.yahoo.com/>?  I realize
it might be a bit slow from the Other Side of the Pond, but you'll probably
find what you're looking for a hell of a lot faster than waiting for us to
answer you.

There's dozens of links on my home page. Hope they'll help!

You could try my home page, http://www.xs4all.nl/~johanw/index.html. It also
contains a link to an other physics page,
http://www.physics.mcgill.ca/physics-services/. Further you can try
http://www.nikhef.nl/, it is a laboratory reseraching nuclear and high
energy physics.

Dangerous to do that automaitically, a lot crackpots also have WWW sites so
I advice you to check them yourself.

There are several very good generic resources on the Web which you should
definitely search for educational material.  I'd put the Virtual Library
at the top:
http://www.w3.org/hypertext/DataSources/bySubject/Overview.html
The pages are by subject and maintained by volunteers and you will be able
to navigate down the tree with increasing specialisation.  You should find all
the subjects you mention.

	Also [blatant plug] you should consider the GlobeWide Network Academy
http://gna.academy.org/  
This is 'the University of the Internet' which has, among other things, been
running virtual courses created by volunteer labour.  These include 
C++ (Marcus Speh), and Protein sciences.  You have an enthusiast in your own
department - Colman Reilly (creilly@maths.tcd.ie).

	It's not irrelevant to discuss it here as I think there would be an
*enormous* demand for a virtual course on TeX/LaTeX.  Lots of the questions you
get here are of the 'how do I do X' and it may well be that the people asking
them would like to study TeX more formally.  If there is someone (?you :-) who
would really like to tackle this, I'd be happy to give some hints - but be
warned - it takes most of your waking life.  It would, however, be very 
rewarding.

	All of our courses have developed new technology - ours 
(http://www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS/index.html) developed the use of
pa=latform-independent multimedia as a teaching aid and the next course
has written a communal virtual hypertextbook; I suggested they use LaTeX and 
latex2html.  A virtual TeX course could do a great deal to develop the use
of the Knuthian approach (e.g. literate programming).

	P.

(BTW - humble suggestion since I do not know him - would Knuth himself 
have any interest in a virtual course?)
