"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.
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.
For non-scientific readers eager to experience Richard Feynman's own brand of science, this work provides six non-technical, introductory lectures from his "Lectures in Physics". The lectures are also available on cassette and CD, read by the author.
Quantenmechanik
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.
Band 2 behandelt die Elektrodynamik sowohl in klassischer als auch in relativistischer Darstellung und bietet zudem eine kurze Einführung in die Physik der kondensierten Materie.
Band 3 der Feynman Vorlesungen ist der Quantenmechanik gewidmet und bietet jedem Studenten eine hervorragende Einfuhrung in das Thema; auch Berufstatige in Forschung und Entwicklung konnen mit Hilfe des Buches rasch die Kenntnisse der Quantenmechanik auffrischen."
Pátý díl Feynmanových přednášek objasňuje základní myšlenky kvantové mechaniky.
This three-volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology--a course designed to take advantage of students' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more comprehensive view of modern-day physics. The volumes are an edited version of Richard Feynman's lectures, taped and transcribed specifically for the books. It was a rigorous undertaking that resulted in a classic reference work for all physics students, teachers, and researchers. Feynman's effective classroom style remains intact in these volumes, a valuable work by a remarkable educator. The three-volume commemorative issue is hardbound and packaged in a specially-designed slipcase. The lectures are also available in a student paperbound edition.
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.
