You Can Now Access All Of Richard Feynman's Physics Lectures For Free

[Ichingcarpenter]

The lectures of Nobel Prize winning physicist Richard Feynman were legendary. Footage of these lectures does exist, but they are most famously preserved in The Feynman Lectures. The three-volume set may be the most popular collection of physics books ever written, and now you can access it online, in its entirety, for free.


The complete online edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics has been made available in HTML 5 through a collaboration between Caltech (where Feyman first delivered these talks, in the early 1960s) and The Feynman Lectures Website. The online edition is "high quality up-to-date copy of Feynman's legendary lectures," and, thanks to the implementation of scalable vector graphics, "has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation."

Volume I deals mainly with mechanics, radiation and heat; Volume II with electromagnetism and matter; and Volume III with quantum mechanics.

Go. Have fun.

2. Good thing he didn't work for Disney

The Mouse would have these locked up for 120 years. And remake them with Nicholas Cage. ..

3. how cool is that?

dang.

4. "Lecture 6: Probability and Uncertainty — The Quantum Mechanical View of Nature" < I think might be

useful prior to 2016, as one searches for explanations of things that are and are not, and avoiding the perpetual torment that comes along with asking

"But how can it be like that?"


Thank you for posting these.

5. When I was in high school, PSSC physics

had just come out, and our youngish physics teacher ordered the texts and the films that went with them. As I recall, the films were mostly "illustrated" physics lectures by well-known physicists. The ones that EVERYONE actually LOVED were those by Feynman. This old lady will NEVER forget that dude - a GREAT man. Ms Bigmack
