About the author

Richard Phillips Feynman was an American physicist known for the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics and the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as work in particle physics (he proposed the parton model). For his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics, Feynman was a joint recipient of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, together with Julian Schwinger and Sin-Itiro Tomonaga. Feynman developed a widely used pictorial representation scheme for the mathematical expressions governing the behavior of subatomic particles, which later became known as Feynman diagrams. During his lifetime and after his death, Feynman became one of the most publicly known scientists in the world.

He assisted in the development of the atomic bomb and was a member of the panel that investigated the Space Shuttle Challenger disaster. In addition to his work in theoretical physics, Feynman has been credited with pioneering the field of quantum computing, and introducing the concept of nanotechnology (creation of devices at the molecular scale). He held the Richard Chace Tolman professorship in theoretical physics at Caltech.

Reviews

[Miguel Covas]

While the first five chapters are somewhat self contained, the sixth has many references to other not included chapters (likely from “Feynman Lectures on Physics”) thus not so easy as the title states. I guess I should read the “Lectures”

[La nebu]

ojalá haber visto en persona a Feynman dando clase y haber podido disfrutar de su show. Un genio que creía en la enseñanza y que traía la física y su belleza a todos, hasta a los que no la entendemos.

[Violeta Granés]

La puntuació adequada seria un 3,5, penso. La qüestió és: com pot ser que aquest home sigui genial, però la Gemma i el Francesc facin les piezas més fáciles que ell? Quin embolic amb els camps electromagnètics
