It was Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics. In Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these famous lectures, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But as Feynman shows, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance. No one—not even Einstein himself—explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Richard Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all times. “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.”—The Washington Post Book World

The complete series of Feynman's landmark Lectures on Physics is highly anticipated by scientists and academics globally, offering profound insights into the principles of physics through Feynman's engaging teaching style.

Richard Feynman's Six Easy Pieces: The Fundamentals of Physics Explained is an essential introduction to the world of physics by one of its greatest teachers and icons. Richard Feynman inspired people around the world with his scientific brilliance, endless curiosity about the world and unorthodox outlook on life. Here he guides the reader through the very basics of physics, including atoms, energy, force, the relation of physics to other sciences, the theory of gravitation and quantum behaviour. Presenting complex ideas in simplified, understandable terms and using illustrations such as shooting bullets, waves on a seashore and even Dennis the Menace's building blocks, Six Easy Pieces gets to the heart of how the world works. 'One of the very best introductions to physics for the uninitiated' Independent 'If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces' John Gribbin 'With Feynman as a guide, you can't help wondering why everyone is not turning to science' Guardian 'The greatest physicist of the twentieth century' Sunday Timesre: Richard P. Feynman (1918-88) was one of this century's most brilliant and original thinkers. He taught at Cornell and the California Institute of Technology and received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his work in quantum electrodynamics. Books by Feynman published by Penguin include QED, and The Character of Physical Law.

In seinen legendären Vorlesungen aus dem Jahre 1965 ist es Richard P. Feynman gelungen, die Physik in einer leichtverständlichen Form darzustellen, ohne dabei auf Genauigkeit zu verzichten. Der didaktisch geschickte Aufbau hält den Leser bis an den Schluss gefesselt. Feynman stellt die physikalischen Ideen in den Vordergrund, eine umfassende Kenntnis der exakten mathematischen Grundlagen ist zum Verständnis nicht nötig. Deshalb eignen sich seine Bücher hervorragend sowohl zum Selbststudium als auchals Begleitung zur Vorlesung. Die Vorlesung über Elektromagnetismus in der überarbeiteten New Millennium Edition richtet sich an Bachelor- und Masterstudierende nicht nur der Physik, sondern auch anderer naturwissenschaftlicher und technischer Richtungen.

This book features a collection of lectures by the renowned physicist Richard P. Feynman, offering insights into quantum mechanics. It's ideal for physics students and anyone interested in a compelling introduction to this essential area of science.

"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 publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the 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. Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.

Die Bände 1-3 der Feynman Vorlesungen sind als Set erhältlich. Band 1 behandelt Mechanik, Thermodynamik und Physik der Strahlung und bietet einen umfassenden Einblick in die Physik, ohne zwischen klassischer und moderner Physik zu trennen. Feynman vermittelt die Inhalte verständlich und ansprechend, ideal für Selbststudium und Vorlesungen.
