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
