Question

Any Nice online course on Special theory of relativity? or any good website source?

Most I saw, have only the introductory concepts with little or no math. I want one with math and problems maybe? :P

I tried the Edx Course, but its structure is horrible. Just plain horrible. So I need something additional :D

Answer 1

Chapter 39, which is relativity, actually starts on the next video (Part 1 2) but you can start from the very beginning if you like.

My prof. starts the lecture with the Galileo transformation so if you want to jump straight into special relativity you're going to have to do some skipping.
