Book Overview

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. This description may be from another edition of this product.

Next best thing to going to CIT in 1963 to do Physics 101

By Thriftbooks.com User, January 23, 2003

If you couldn't attend CIT in 1962-3 because you weren't a twinkle in your parents' eyes, or could not afford to attend, then the tapes are the next best thing. From a peadagogical point of view i think the tapes enhance the books but do not stand on their own, so i rate them 3 stars. He is often writing/refering to stuff that is in the books, but you obviously cannot see on a sound track. Given today's technology it would...

should replace all high school text book

By Thriftbooks.com User, April 18, 2001

it will be an excellent high school text book expecially for those wh oare preparing for the Ap physics C or those who loves physics and are willing to place themselves in advance standards. i would recommand that book for all high school seniors and first year college students who major or intend to major in science or engineering since most of today's "lectures" are generally mediocre. P.S. u have to reread each chapter...

Exhilirating

By Thriftbooks.com User, June 12, 1999

I read the entire book back in college. The approach to explaining quantum mechanics was so different from the other books I read back then. The derivation of the rotation matrices, the discussion of symmetry and superconductivity, among others, were simply breathtaking. Definitely a classic.
