The Feynman Lectures on Physics

Mainly Mechanics, Radiation, and Heat

Book • 2011

Richard Feynman

Robert B. Leighton

The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a three-volume textbook based on lectures given by Richard Feynman to undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology from 1961 to 1964.

The lectures range from the basic principles of Newtonian physics to advanced theories such as general relativity and quantum mechanics.

The book is known for its clarity, simplicity, and deep insight, making it essential reading not just for students of physics but for anyone interested in the subject.

The first volume focuses on mechanics, radiation, and heat, while the second volume covers electromagnetism and matter, and the third volume delves into quantum mechanics.
