" One of the greatest physicists of the twentieth century, Richard Feynman possessed an unquenchable thirst for adventure and an unparalleled ability to tell the stories of his life.

Looks at quantum mechanics, covering such topics as perturbation method, statistical mechanics, path integrals, and quantum electrodynamics.

This e-book version accurately reflects all aspects of the original print edition of The Feynman Lectures on Physics -equations, symbols, and figures have been made scalable so they can be read on a small screen.

Covering the theory of computation, information and communications, the physical aspects of computation, and the physical limits of computers, this text is based on the notes taken by one of its editors, Tony Hey, on a lecture course on ...

Physics, rather than mathematics, is the focus in this classic graduate lecture note volume on statistical mechanics and the physics of condensed matter.

But, as Feynman shows so clearly and so entertainingly in the lectures chosen for this volume, these crazy notions are no mere dry principles of physics, but are things of beauty and elegance.

'Feynman's style inspired a generation of scientists. This volume remains the best record I know of his exhilarating vision' Paul Davies

In this extraordinary book, Feynman provides a lively and accessible introduction to QED, or quantum electrodynamics, an area of quantum field theory that describes the interactions of light with charged particles.

Also included in this collection is an essay by Matthew Sands, who discusses the origins of the collection and the lectures themselves.

Based upon a course taught by Feynman on the principles of gravitation at Cal. Tech, this series of lectures discusses gravitation in all its aspects. The author's approach is very direct, a trademark of his work and lecture style.
