Publisher Description
"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.
Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.
Customer Reviews
Excellent book
Some quibbles:
The equations are permanently black; thus, they cannot be seen against a dark background. Also, the equations cannot be copied on their own, which would be useful (you must select the text around the equation first).
Text great - all equations and graphics missing
I bought all three volumes of this outstanding work but am very disappointed to find the graphics and equations don’t show up on my iPad! This makes it incomplete and difficult to read. I do not recommend buying it in this electronic format.
