Six Easy Pieces : Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher (Edition 4) (Paperback)

from kendrabonnett

Richard Feynman is a charismatic writer who tackles difficult concepts in physics and simplify them for the nonscience reader. It reminds me of a basic physics primer and a great review for science lovers.

I bought a CD collection of Richard Feynman's CalTech lectures on introductory undergraduate physics a couple of weeks back, and have been wending my way through them. At the same time I've been rereading Six Easy Pieces, the first of Feynman's classic books based on the same material. Feynman, t...

Great book. Feynman is as enigmatic as usual and his descriptions are vivid and inspiring. He begins discussing atoms and shows us how we can understand the world around us using the simple concept of 'jiggling' atoms. I found this to be a profound and exiting way of understanding how things trul...

What can be said? There are few educators as enthusiastic about physics as Feynman. Here he covers the atomic hypothesis and some simple consequences, which personally I found to be the most enjoyable lecture; "basic physics" which is a whirlwind tour of particle physics at the time; the relation...

Not so easy, but fascinating, nonetheless. The first few chapters, very easy and very basic: atoms, basic physics and how physics relates to the other sciences. Once Dr. Feynman gets into Quantum Behavior, however, it does need reading over a few times to really sink in. Overall, well worth it.
