The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Robert Leighton

The Feynman Lectures on Physics by Robert Leighton

This three volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology — a course designed to take advantage of readers' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more comprehensive view of modern-day physics. The volumes are an edited version of Richard Feynman's lectures, taped and transcribed specifically for the books. Feynman's effective classroom style remains intact in these volumes, a valuable work by a remarkable educator. It is a rigorous undertaking that resulted in a classic reference work for anyone interested in physics.

Richard P. Feynman was Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for his work on the development of quantum field theory. He was also one of the most famous and beloved figures of the twentieth century, both in physics and as a public intellectual.

Michael A. Gottlieb is a visitor in physics at the California Institute of Technology, and editor of The Feynman Lectures on Physics and Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics. He also administers the Feynman Lectures website, www.feynmanlectures.info.

Ralph Leighton is an author, lateral thinker, and longtime friend of the late Richard Feynman.
