Feynman's Tips on Physics


Book Description

Feynman's Tips on Physics is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics With characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from The Feynman Lectures on Physics. An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark lecture series. Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally developed to supplement The Feynman Lectures on Physics, by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt. Feynman's Tips on Physics was co-authored by Michael A. Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physic, Vol. 1 of 2 (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Lectures on the Theory and Practice of Physic, Vol. 1 of 2 IT was not foreseen by the American contributor to these Lectures, that his additions would have constituted, in a comparatively short period, the larger part of the entire work. His proportion is, now, upwards of fourteen hundred pages - enough, in amount of matter and variety of topic, to form a separate treatise one as large, if not as comprehensive, as some systems of medicine which find willing and instructed readers.
