Product Description

The two latest volume of recorded lectures by the world's greatest physics teacher.. Perseus Books is proud to announce the latest volume in its series of recorded lectures by the late Richard P. Feynman, lectures originally delivered to his physics students at Caltech and later fashioned by the author into his classic textbook Lectures on Physics . }For more than thirty years, Richard P. Feynmans three volume Lectures on Physics has been known worldwide as the classic resource for students and professionals alike. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as Einsteins general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Fenymans lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. Responding to the tremendous clamour for the original audio tapes from which the Lectures on Physics were transcribed, Perseus Books is releasing Feynmans original recordings, remastered for modern audio equipment and re-organized for cohesiveness and convenience. All 111 lectures will be available over the coming years. }

Live from Caltech, It's Professor Richard Feynman ! ! ! 11 April 2001

By Autodidact Andy - Published on Amazon.com

Six Wonderful Pieces! This is my first and favorite unabridged audio collection of Feyman's Lectures on Physics which he delivered during the month February in 1962 at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech). These events occurred 21 months before and 21 miles away from where I was born here in Southern California! I eagerly listen to all of these tapes over & over & over again - reveling in his style of teaching (humorous, witty, and humble). Much of the quantitative eludication of subject material surpasse my comprehension. Nonetheless, I just relax during my long commute to work and absorb whatever sinks in.

My only beef with this collection is that they (Helix Books/Perseus Publishing) left out some essential lectures which, in the book, complete the overall theme (i.e. light) such as his lectures on Polarization and the one on Radiation Damping/Light Scattering. Now, I understand that each volume of these boxed sets can probably only contain a maximum of six cassettes, however they ought to publish another collection that contains the "missing" lectures mentioned above. There are plenty of his other lectures on the subject of electromagnetics from the printed volumes to be found in the other series of Audio Volumes (e.g. audio volumes 1, 2, 3, 4 & 10) however they are not quite cohesive in their contiguity (kind of scattered/clumped together).

I have a total of nine (2-10) of the twelve currently available volumes (as of July 2001). Volumes 13 and 14 are forthcoming. See my 'Listmania Lists' for a convenient place to find almost all of the available Feynman audio.

One of the cool things you can do with these audio lectures is to listen to them and then correlate them to the famous collected three volume-printed sets of the "Feynman Lectures on Physics". They relate very well in my opinion.

FYI: this set of tapes is number eight in the audio collection series and the cassettes correlate to the printed lectures in the following manner:

Cassette 1 is Volume 1, Chapter 26: The Principle of Least Time; cassette 2 is Volume 1, Chapter 27: Geometrical Optics; cassette 3 is Volume 1, Chapter 28: Electromagnetic Radiation; cassette 4 is Volume 1, Chapter 29: Interference; cassette 5 is Volume 1, Chapter 30: Diffraction; and cassette 6 is Volume 1, Chapter 31: The Origin of the Refractive Index.

My favorite quotation out of these lectures is, "And thus is the universe knit together. The atomic motions of a star still have sufficient influence at this great distance to set the electrons in our eye in motion, and so we know about the stars. If this law did not exist, we would all be literally in the dark about the exterior world!"

Collect 'em all and enjoy! Please visit my Amazon personal profile by clicking the "IndiAndy (see more about me)" link above and drop me a line. It's a real treat hearing from visitors of my reviews.
