The legendary introduction to physics from the subject's greatest
teacher
"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 a book that has
remained a definitive introduction to physics for decades. Ranging from
the most 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. Now, we are
reintroducing the printed books to the trade, fully corrected, for the
first time ever, and in collaboration with Caltech. 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.
