Abstract:
A famous, 3-volume lecture notes on Physics by Richard Feynman based on his one-time 101, first year introductory Physics lectures at California Institute of Technology during the academic year 1961-1962; a veritable marathon through the wide domains of modern Physics up to 1964. Vol. I :\\ 52 chapters covering most areas of Physics at the fundamental level from atoms in motion to basic physics, classical Conservation Laws, Netwon's Laws of Dynamics, Special Relativity theory, Algebra, Vectors, Resonance, Optics, Electromagnetic radiation, Waves and wave phenomena, Quantum behavior, Vision mechanisms, Wave-particle concept, Kinetic theory of gases, Statistical mechanics, Laws of Thermodynamics, with illustrations, concluding with Symmetry and Broken symmetries in physical laws. . Vol. II (in 1964): Electromagnetism, Electricity and Magnetism, Maxwell equations, Electrodynamics in Relativistic Notation, Lorentz transformations of the fields, Electromagnetic Mass, Internal Geometry of Crystals, Tensors, Refraction and reflection of light/em waves, Magnetism of matter, paramagnetism and Magnetic resonance. Magnetic materials, Elasticity, Flow of water, general rheology, and Curved space in Einstein's General Relativity (last Ch. 42). Vol. III: Quantum theory, first principles of quantum mechanics, wave-particle duality, spin, the Hamiltonian matrix, the Ammonia Maser, Nuclear forces, Two-state systems, Hydrogen and hyperfine splitting, Propagation in a Crystal Lattice, Semiconductors, Angular Momentum, Hydrogen atom and the periodic table, Quantum operators, Superconductivity and the Schr\"odinger equation; Feynman's Epilogue: won't "teach this class again". \\\\\\ See also (and compare) for just a brief summary: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Feynman_Lectures_on_Physics ///////\\\\\\ Sites and Pages dedicated to Richard P.
