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.
This book is an edited collection of reminiscences by Richard Feynman, based on recorded audio conversations he had with his friend and drumming partner Ralph Leighton. It covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life, including his work on the Manhattan Project, his critique of the science education system in Brazil, and his various hobbies such as safe-cracking, painting, and playing the bongo drums. The book also includes his famous 'Cargo Cult Science' lecture, where he cautions against the superficial appearance of scientific investigation without a self-critical attitude. Feynman's stories are lighthearted yet insightful, reflecting his high intelligence, curiosity, and humor.
This sweeping biography by James Gleick integrates Richard Feynman’s work and life, making it accessible to both laymen and scientists. It details Feynman’s quick mastery of quantum mechanics, his role in the Manhattan Project, and his contributions to particle physics and quantum electrodynamics. The book also explores Feynman’s eccentric and irreverent personality, his interactions with other notable physicists, and his impact on the scientific community[1][2][3].
This book is a compilation of Richard Feynman's short works, featuring his famous lectures, speeches, and articles. It includes his 1959 lecture 'There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom,' his report on the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster, and his speech on 'cargo cult science.' The book provides an intimate and fascinating view of Feynman's life in science, highlighting his curiosity, humility, and joy in discovering new things. It covers a wide range of topics from his involvement in the Manhattan Project to his views on the future of computing and the importance of scientific integrity[1][3][4].
