Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.
As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.
Feynman's mantra seemed to be: No Einstein Left Behind. He sought to inspire "the more advanced and excited student", perhaps10% of the class. My goal is to reach the other 90%. For those who have struggled with the Big Red Books, and for those who were reluctant to take the plunge, Feynman Simplified is for you.
Feynman Simplified: 1B covers about a quarter of Volume 1, the freshman course, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:
- Harmonic Oscillators, Resonances, and Transients
- Kinetic Theory of Gases
- Statistical Mechanics
- Thermodynamics
There is no better way to truly learn physics than from a truly great physicist, Feynman taught us more than just physics — he taught us how to think like a physicist.
