Exhilirating
I read the entire book back in college. The approach to explaining quantum mechanics was so different from the other books I read back then. The derivation of the rotation matrices, the discussion of symmetry and superconductivity, among others, were simply breathtaking. Definitely a classic.

Richard Feynman can really grow on you ...
August 18, 1999 After spending a good part of the last month listening to Richard Feynman's Physics lectures 1,3 and 4 I would like to raise my rating for these tapes to 5 (the highest possible). Richard Feynman can really grow on you as you become part of his Physics class of 1961 - 1962. The audio level is well maintained throughout the series which was a problem in some of his earlier audio ...

Genius and Humanity
R.P. Feynman was more than just a physicist with a staggering intuitive understanding of the machinery of complex equations and physical laws, he was also very human and sane and filled with simple awe at the natural world. If you want to begin to understand the kind of genius he had, and to feel his enthusiasm for teaching, then buy the first book of this set. It is the easiest to follow since ...

Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher (Helix Book)

Comments on Feynman's "Six Easy Pieces"
The book is relative short, but all Feynman writings are excellent. Dispite holding a degree in Physics, I did not find the "pieces" all that easy, but very worth-while reading. The lectures increased in difficulty, but all helped me understand the subjects better. (I'm only bitter about not being aware of Feynman and his writings / lectures when I was an undergrad in college.) I expect to ...

"Principia" for our times
Isaac Newton wrote "Principia" in the 1600's, and it was the definitive book on Physics, although it is basically unreadable. (Now, of course, it is also slightly outdated.) Feynman has done a better and much more complete job than Newton himself. Having said this, this is NOT a book for the layman. It appears simple: heavily conceptual, few equations, no homework problems at the end of each ...

The Greatest Physics Tutorial Ever Written
Feynman doesn't just teach physics in these books: he teaches you to think like a physicist should. One complaint I've heard is that there's not enough math in them. "Too many words." (Kinda reminds you of Armadeus.) There are plenty of books that have the math. These books offer insight -- something that is very hard to come by in formal physics education. The introductory material in ...

Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher
Richard P; Leighton, Robert B; Sands, Matthew L. Feynman

Perseus Books, 1996

In these six chapters, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, the relationship of physics to other topics, energy, gravitation, and quantum force. With his inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion without equations or technical jargon. With interesting photos and/or illustrations to enhance the text.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Commemorative Issue, Three Volume Set

92 reviews
Richard P. Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, ...

Addison Wesley, 1989

It's not just about physics
The joy of these books is not that you learn physics from them. What these books offer is Feynman's contagious wonder about things, his command of the material, and his unique way of presenting complicated ideas from a perspective understandable even to laymen. In the preface, Feynman says that the lectures are "a failure" but that is from the point of view of preparing students to pass ...
