And now, it is being made available online for free for computer and smart device users-it's even been specially formatted to allow all users to view both math formulas and diagrams. In 1964, Feynman along with Leighton and Sands published a textbook based on Feynman's lectures-over time it became what has been described as the most popular physics textbook ever published.
But beyond all of that, Richard Feynman was a unique and multi-faceted individual. He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb, expanded the understanding of quantumelectrodynamics, translated Mayan hieroglyphics, and cut to the heart of the Challenger disaster. He soon became known as "The Great Explainer" cementing his name in popular lore. Feynman, scientist, teacher, raconteur, and musician. This is not necessarily the case of course, but that is what every professor in every subject assumes!" His lectures became so popular that higher level students began signing up and established scientists occasionally dropped in to listen as well.
He achieved his fame through serious science, good looks and personality-some journalists began calling him a rock-star physicist for his ability to capture the attention of listeners and to hold on to them as he made complex topics seem understandable by the masses.įrom 1961 to 1963, Feynman gave a series of lectures at Caltech, from the point of view, as he described it "that you, the reader, are going to be a physicist. But to generations of students, the late physicist is perhaps best known as the brain behind The Feynman Lectures On Physics. Richard Feynman (1918-1988) is known for many things. In later years he was a member of the panel that looked into the cause of the first space shuttle disaster. Feynman Lectures On Physics Now Available Online Free Of Charge. To the rest of the world, however, Feynman was a bona fide scientist celebrity, sought out for his opinions and observations as new science discoveries or problems appeared. He also was part of the team that worked on the atomic bomb project and shared a Nobel Prize with Sin-Itiro Tomonaga and Julian Schwinger in 1965. Videos of the series were put online at Microsoft Research a few years ago, but now the entirety of Volume 1 is available over simple HTML (). The Feynman Lectures on Physics : Definitive Ext. Richard Feynmans lectures on physics have been iconic standards of physics education for the past five decades.
