Feynman Lectures in Physics (set of 5 volumes)

Complete: 3 volumes in 5 volumes.

The most unusual physics textbook ever written.

Its originality lies not only in the non-traditional selection of material and the unconventional order of its exposition. Beginning with Newton's laws, through the special theory of relativity, optics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, the lectures are a monument to the clarity of the lecture and the deep intuition and thorough knowledge of the subject. The author shows physics, as it were, in statu nascendi, and draws the reader into the discovery of the regularities governing nature. In the pages of Feynman's book, physics ceases to be a set of laws about blocks, levers and prisms, and becomes what it really is - a fascinating story about the beauty of the laws of nature.

This item is an essential guide to physics for students of physics and related fields, teachers and researchers, and anyone interested in physics.
