Richard Phillips Feynman Libri

A un uditorio che si presume esilarato un Feynman in forma smagliante lancia le sue provocazioni intellettuali, spiegando col suo stile immediato e antiretorico in che consiste il metodo scientifico; mostrando, ad esempio, come sovente un'ipotesi da "quasi certamenta" falsa possa diventare "quasi certamenta" vera. O viceversa. Nel "quasi" è il succo di tutto il suo argomentare, un misto accattivante di vera-falsa ingenuità e di spietata astuzia analitica che lo porta a vagabondare al di fuori della fisica, nelle regioni di confine, dall'etica alla religione alla politica, a chiedersi il perché delle cose, della vita, di tutto, mosso da una curiosità insopprimibile, fanciullesca.

The complete series of Feynman's landmark Lectures on Physics is highly anticipated by scientists and academics globally, offering profound insights into the principles of physics through Feynman's engaging teaching style.

This three-volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology--a course designed to take advantage of students' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more comprehensive view of modern-day physics. The volumes are an edited version of Richard Feynman's lectures, taped and transcribed specifically for the books. It was a rigorous undertaking that resulted in a classic reference work for all physics students, teachers, and researchers. Feynman's effective classroom style remains intact in these volumes, a valuable work by a remarkable educator. The three-volume commemorative issue is hardbound and packaged in a specially-designed slipcase. The lectures are also available in a student paperbound edition.

"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.

It was 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, 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 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 Richard Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all times. “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.”—The Washington Post Book World

This book features a collection of lectures by the renowned physicist Richard P. Feynman, offering insights into quantum mechanics. It's ideal for physics students and anyone interested in a compelling introduction to this essential area of science.

Looks at quantum mechanics, covering such topics as perturbation method, statistical mechanics, path integrals, and quantum electrodynamics.

A portrait of the late Nobel Prize-winning physicist recounts his early enthusiasm for science, work on the atom bomb, and inquiry into the Challenger explosion.

Based on the Messenger Lectures, given by the Nobel Prize-winner Feynman at Cornell and filmed by the BBC, this book explores the nature of the laws of physics (in particular, those of Newton, Maxwell and Einstein) and their relationship to mathematical formulation. Why does nature seem subject to simple mathematical laws, to what extent are there laws inherent in nature itself, and to what extent are they human creations, effective in predicting results but no more real than a work of art? - these are a few of the theoretical questions addressed in a rich and accessible book that sums up the essential scientific quest.

Throughout his extraordinary career Richard Feynman wrote regularly to friends and family, to his fans around the world, and to colleagues eager for advice. This collection of his letters has been lovingly woven into a life story by his daughter Michelle Feynman. They provide a unique portrait of a man whose passion and commitment inspired all who were lucky enough to come within his orbit. Feynman's letters are direct and uncompromising; patient, thoughtful, always humorous, he challenges his readers to be true to themselves and not to accept conventional wisdom. He is also, in this, his personal correspondence, exceptionally entertaining.

Provides an introduction to QED (quantum electrodynamics), that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language, spatial concepts, visualizations, and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics, the author communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson.

Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicists of the 20th century and a winner of the Nobel Prize died in February 1988. This is his last anecdotal biography in which he tells the story of the two people who most influenced his early years - his father who taught him to think and his first wife Arlene who taught him to love, even as she lay dying at an Albuquerque hospital while Feynman worked nearby on the atomic bomb at Los Alamos. There are also lighter moments which tell of his travels in Geneva, Trinidad, Greece and Japan.

In this phenomenal bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman recounts his adventures trading ideas on atomic physics with Einstein and Bohr and ideas on gambling with Nick the Greek, painting a naked female toreador, accompanying a ballet on his bongo drums--and much else of an eyebrow-raising and hilarious nature. Photos.

The Pleasure of Finding Things Out is a magnificent treasury of the best short works of Richard Feynman—from interviews and speeches to lectures and printed articles. A sweeping, wide-ranging collection, it presents an intimate and fascinating view of a life in science-a life like no other. From his ruminations on science in our culture to his Nobel Prize acceptance speech, this book will fascinate anyone interested in the world of ideas.

Many appreciate Richard P. Feynman's contributions to twentieth-century physics, but few realize how engaged he was with the world around him -- how deeply and thoughtfully he considered the religious, political, and social issues of his day. Now, a wonderful book -- based on a previously unpublished, three-part public lecture he gave at the University of Washington in 1963 -- shows us this other side of Feynman, as he expounds on the inherent conflict between science and religion, people's distrust of politicians, and our universal fascination with flying saucers, faith healing, and mental telepathy. Here we see Feynman in top form: nearly bursting into a Navajo war chant, then pressing for an overhaul of the English language (if you want to know why Johnny can't read, just look at the spelling of "friend"); and, finally, ruminating on the death of his first wife from tuberculosis. This is quintessential Feynman -- reflective, amusing, and ever enlightening.

The Feynman Lectures on Gravitation are based on notes prepared during a course on gravitational physics that Richard Feynman taught at Caltech during the 1962-63 academic year. For several years prior to these lectures, Feynman taught about the fundamental problems in gravitational physics, yet he published very little. These lectures represent a record of his viewpoint and some of his insights into gravitation and its application to cosmology, superstars, wormholes, and gravitational waves at that particular time. The lectures also contain a number of digressions and asides on the foundations of physics and other issues.

When, in 1984?86, Richard P. Feynman gave his famous course on computation at the California Institute of Technology, he asked Tony Hey to adapt his lecture notes into a book. Although led by Feynman, the course also featured, as occasional guest speakers, some of the most brilliant men in science at that time, including Marvin Minsky, Charles Bennett, and John Hopfield. Although the lectures are now thirteen years old, most of the material is timeless and presents a ?Feynmanesque? overview of many standard and some not-so-standard topics in computer science such as reversible logic gates and quantum computers.

Nositeľ Nobelovej ceny za fyziku Feynman jednoducho nemôže nebyť originálny. V tejto vtipnej, fascinujúcej knihe vysvetľuje laikom kvantovú teóriu svetla - teóriu, k rozvoju ktorej nepopierateľne prispel aj on sám. The New Yorker V štyroch sviežich, ľahkým perom napísaných kapitolkách sa Richard Feynman podujíma vysvetliť kvantovú elektrodynamiku širokému publiku. Významný príspevok k jej formulovaniu venoval on sám. Philip Morrison, Scientific American Feynmanova stručná Kvantová elektrodynamika (QED) je ďalším "kúskom" uznávaného majstra jednoduchého vysvetľovania fyziky. John Roche, TheTimes Literary Supplement QED je výzvou mysle. Jeden z najlepších učiteľov a vedcov osvetľuje bežné, každodenné javy prostredníctvom výnimočnej fyziky. Paul A. Robinson, Christian Science Monitor Feynmanove prednášky museli byť úžasné - sú zhmotnené v rovnako úžasnej knihe, ktorá je sugestívnym úvodom do QED, okoreneným vtipom autora. Každý, komu sa páči fyzika, by si ju mal prečítať. Nielen preto, aby detailne pochopil kvantovú teóriu, ale i preto, aby trochu nazrel do histórie.

Band 3 der Feynman Vorlesungen ist der Quantenmechanik gewidmet und bietet jedem Studenten eine hervorragende Einfuhrung in das Thema; auch Berufstatige in Forschung und Entwicklung konnen mit Hilfe des Buches rasch die Kenntnisse der Quantenmechanik auffrischen."

Pátý díl Feynmanových přednášek objasňuje základní myšlenky kvantové mechaniky.

Der legendäre Physik-Nobelpreisträger Richard P. Feynman tritt in diesem Buch als vielseitige und komplexe Persönlichkeit auf: als leidenschaftlicher Wissenschaftler, aufrichtiger Denker, genialer Lehrer, als liebenswürdiger Mensch und nicht zuletzt als Spaßmacher. Es ist ein Genuss, Feynman zu lesen, ganz gleich, ob er über Physik, das Computerzeitalter, den Zweifel in der Wissenschaft, über Philosophie oder Religion schreibt. – 'Halb Genie, halb Clown … Stets spielte er mit Ideen, doch das, was wirklich für ihn zählte, nahm er immer ernst.' Freeman J. Dyson

Die Quantenelektrodynamik (QED) beschreibt die Wechselwirkung von Licht und Materie, genauer: die Wechselwirkung von Elektronen, Positronen und Photonen. Mittlerweile ist diese Theorie schon älter als ein halbes Jahrhundert. Im Laufe der Jahre ist sie in vielen Energiebereichen getestet worden, nicht zuletzt mit Hilfe der modernen Teilchenbeschleuniger. Um so überraschender ist die Tatsache, daß man bis heute keinerlei Abweichungen zwischen den theoretischen Voraussagen und den experimentellen Daten gefunden hat! Die QED zählt damit zu den genauesten aller Theorien. Dieses Werk führt in die wichtigsten Ergebnisse und Rechenverfahren der Quantenelektrodynamik ein. Aus erster Hand wird der Leser auch mit den berühmten „Feynman-Graphen“ vertraut gemacht.

В основу этой книги, больше 50 лет состоящей в списке международных бестселлеров, легли знаменитые лекции Ричарда Фейнмана, прочитанные им в 1964 году в Корнуолльском университете. В этих лекциях прославленный физик рассказывает о фундаментальных законах природы и величайших достижениях мировой физики, не утративших своей актуальности и по сей день, – рассказывает простым доступным языком, понятным даже самому обычному читателю. Чего только стоит его знаменитая аналогия с мокрым человеком, который пытается вытереться мокрым полотенцем, на примере которой он объясняет закон сохранения энергии!..

Eine Vorlesung des Physikers und späteren Nobelpreisträgers Richard P. Feynman vom März 1964 ist Wissenschaftslegende geworden. Es gelang ihm, die Bewegungen der Planeten um die Sonne zu beweisen — anders als Newton mit den einfachen Mitteln der Geometrie. Das Physikerpaar Judith R. und David L. Goodstein hat die Vorlesung, die jahrelang als verschollen galt, aus Tonbandmitschnitten rekonstruiert und sie zusammen mit Feynmans erläuternden Zeichnungen veröffentlicht. »Feynman ist immer noch für Überraschungen gut.« Süddeutsche Zeitung

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.
