With genius, passion, and unmatched flair, this one-volume
"greatest hits" of the Feynman lectures places you in the classroom
of one of the twentieth century''s most brilliant teachers
For more than thirty years, Richard P. Feynman''s three-volume
Lectures on Physics has been known worldwide as the classic
resource for students and professionals alike. That text was based
on transcriptions of the hundreds of hours of audio recordings made
during Feynman''s legendary classroom lectures.
Now, for the first time on compact disc, the best of these
recordings are available in digitally mastered quality. Ranging
from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such
formidable topics as Einstein''s general relativity,
superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Feynman''s lectures stand
as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.
Timeless and collectible, these unabridged lectures are essential
listening, not just for students of physics, but for anyone seeking
an introduction to the field from the inimitable Richard
Feynman.
關於作者:
Raised in Far Rockaway, New York, Richard P. Feynman received
his Ph.D. from Princeton in 1942. He played an important role in
the development of the atomic bomb during World War II. After the
war Feynman went on to teach at both Cornell University and the
California Institute of Technology, and in 1965 he was awarded the
Nobel Prize in Physics for his research in quantum electrodynamics.
Besides his work as a physicist, Feynman was at various times a
raconteur, artist, bongo player, and safecracker. He died in
1988.
