Produktinformationen zu „The Feynman Lectures on Physics, The New Millenium Edition: Vol.1 Mainly Mechanics, Radiation, and Heat “

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.

Richard P. Feynman, geb. 1918 in New York, gest. 1988 in Los Angeles, Studium der Physik am Massachusetts Institute of Technology, ab 1942 Mitarbeiter am Manhattan Projekt in Los Alamos, 1945-50 Professor für Theoretische Physik an der Cornell University/Ithaca, seit 1950 am California Institute of Technology in Pasadena. 1965 Nobelpreis für Physik.Robert B. Leighton (1919-1997) forschte und lehrte am California Institute of Technology, USA ("Caltech"). Er war Mitglied der "National Academy of Science" (NAS) und gewann 1988 die James-Craig-Watson-Medaille. Leighton leitete die Entwicklung der Mars-Sonden Mariner 4, Mariner 6 und Mariner 7 und entwickelte zahlreiche leistungsstarke Teleskope, die in u.a. in den berühmten Observatorien Mauna Kea (Hawaii), Mount Wilson und Owens Valley (Kalifornien) Einsatz finden.Prof. Dr. Matthew Sands forschte und lehrte bis zu seiner Emeritierung 1994 an der University of California Santa Cruz. 1998 bekam er von der American Physical Society (APS) den Wilson-Preis verliehen.
