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.

[Nattapon Chotsisuparat · Rating 5 out of 5]

Exercises for The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a good companion to the Feynman Lectures on Physics because the original lectures lack practice problems. The problems in this book range in difficulty some are quite challenging. The units used in the exercises are sometimes outdated or non SI units, such as feet, pounds, kilogram force (kg-wt), which are rarely seen in modern physics textbooks. Only selected answers are provided at the end of the book and there are no step by step solutions (bad news). Overall, it's an okay textbook and some of the problems are genuinely interesting.
