The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III

release date: Sep 29, 2015
The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III
"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.

Elektromagnetismus

release date: Sep 25, 2015
Elektromagnetismus
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.

Feynman-Vorlesungen über Physik

Feynman-Vorlesungen über Physik
Die Art und Weise, mit der Feynman physikalische Sachverhalte angeht und komplexe Probleme berraschend klar und einfach l st, ist unnachahmlich; wie keinem anderen ist es dem begnadeten P dagogen Feynman gelungen, Generationen von Studenten mit den Grundlagen der Physik vertraut zu machen und sie dazu zu bringen, "sich dem gr ten Abenteuer, auf das sich der menschliche Geist je eingelassen hat, anschlie en zu wollen." Die legend ren Vorlesungen wurden umfassend berarbeitet und liegen nun in der New Millenium-Edition vor. Die Tipps zur Physik enthalten vier lange als verschollen gegoltene Vorlesungen, mit denen Feynman seine Studenten auf die Pr fung vorbereitete, sowie bungen, die in den 1960ern speziell entwickelt wurden, die Feynman-Vorlesungen zu erg nzen.

Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics

Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics
Combined into one volume for the first time, the updated and clarified Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics provides comprehensive, hands-on practice in all the most important areas of physics—from Newtonian mechanics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics. A perfect complement to The Feynman Lectures on Physics, these exercises have all been assigned in Caltech's mandatory two-year introductory physics course, either when Richard Feynman was teaching it, or during the nearly two decades that followed when The Feynman Lectures on Physics was used as the textbook. With this modern, easy-to-use volume, students of physics will have a chance to apply what they have learned in the Lectures and to enhance and reinforce the concepts taught by the inimitable Richard Feynman.

The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I

release date: Oct 04, 2011
The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. I
Volume I: Mainly Mechanics, Radiation, and Heat. 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.

Six Easy Pieces

Six Easy Pieces
Learn how to think like a physicist from a Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) with these six classic and beloved lessons It was Richard 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 around the world. Six Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, represent the most accessible material from the series. In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times. "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, New Scientist

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces

Six Not-So-Easy Pieces
Learn about Einstein's theory of relativity from a physics Nobel laureate and "one of the greatest minds of the twentieth century" (New York Review of Books) in six memorable lessons It was Richard 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 on Physics, 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 a 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 Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all time. “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.” –Washington Post Book World

Feynman Vorlesungen über Physik. 3. Quantenmechanik : mit 22 Tabellen
DER Klassiker unter den Lehrbüchern der Physik - jetzt in der umfassend redigierten Definitive Edition In seinen legendären Vorlesungen aus dem Jahre 1965 ist es Richard P. Feynman gelungen, die Physik in einer leicht verständlichen Form darzustellen, ohne dabei auf Genauigkeit zu verzichten. Der didaktisch geschickte Aufbau hält den Leser bis zum Schluss gefesselt. Kein Wunder also, dass die Feynman Vorlesungen über Physik im Lehrbetrieb der Universitäten mittlerweile einen festen Platz eingenommen haben. Die Vorlesung über Quantenmechanik richtet sich an Studierende aus dem Grund- und Hauptstudium - und zwar nicht nur aus dem Bereich Physik, sondern auch aus der Chemie und der Elektrotechnik. Feynman stellt die physikalischen Ideen in den Vordergrund, eine umfassende Kenntnis der exakten mathematischen Grundlagen ist zum Verständnis nicht nötig. Das Buch eignet sich hervorragend zum Selbststudium oder als Begleiter einer Vorlesung. Aber auch für Arbeitende in Forschung und Entwicklung auf dem Gebiet Physik und Chemie kann es hilfreich sein, mit diesem Buch hin und wieder die Kenntnisse in Quantenmechanik aufzufrischen.

Mariner 6 and 7 Picture Analysis

Mariner 6 and 7 Picture Analysis
The purpose of the studies was to devise ways to combine digital data from the full set of FE pictures so as to improve surface resolution, distinguish clouds and haze patches from permanent surface topographic markings, deduce improved values for radius, oblateness, and spin-axis orientation, and produce a composite photographic map of Mars.
