The Feynman Lectures On Physics, The Definitive Edition (Volume - 3) 2nd Edition 2nd Edition  (English, Paperback, Robert B. Leighton, Richard P Feynman)

The Feynman Lectures on Physics - Volume 3: The Definitive Edition is the third and conclusive book in the legendary Feynman Lectures series, which is unarguably one of the greatest physics textbooks ever written. It encompasses every element of physics – from the intuitive world of classical mechanics to the bizarre quantum universe.

Summary of the Book

This title contains Feynman’s series of lectures that he delivered to the undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology from 1961 to 1963. In this third edition, Feynman talks about a wide variety of topics in Quantum Mechanics – the world of classical mechanics, electromagnetism, and various other aspects of matter and its interactions with the physical world. This volume also takes us on a voyage into the strange world of quantum particles. Feynman, famous for his incredible ability to explain even the most intricate topics of physics with utmost clarity, has delivered his best in presenting his extraordinary fascination towards quantum physics. This book can be a perfect guide to anyone, from those who just want to learn physics and understand the world around us, to those who are toiling for a degree in physics.

About the Authors

Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist and scientist best remembered for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as particle physics. He is also known in academic circles for his series of lectures on physics which were recorded and compiled into a series of books entitled The Feynman Lectures on Physics. He is also known for his semi-autobiographical books: Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! and What Do You Care What Other People Think? Feynman received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics. A graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Princeton University, where he also completed his Ph.D., he participated in the Manhattan Project.

Robert B. Leighton was an American experimental physicist and astronomer. He was an esteemed teacher and author of several seminal textbooks. He was a professor at Caltech for many years.

Matthew Linzee Sands was an American physicist and educator. He had served with the Naval Ordnance Laboratory and the Manhattan Project’s Los Alamos Laboratory.
