Richard Phillips Feynman Libros

Richard Feynman no ha sido sólo uno de los físicos teóricos más destacados del mundo sino también una personalidad insólita y genial cuyas investigaciones le valieron el Premio Nobel de Física de 1965. En su biografía y en su obra se dan cita la curiosidad irrefrenable, el escepticismo empedernido, el sentido del humor, el gusto por la travesura, la más vasta cultura y el más penetrante ingenio. Feynman es seguramente la única persona en el mundo que ha explicado física a cerebros como Einstein, Von Neumann y Pauli y que ha tocado los bongos en una compañía de ballet, que ha sido declarado deficiente mental por el ejército de Estados Unidos y que ha obtenido un Premio Nobel. “¿Está usted de broma, Sr. Feynman?” recoge las conversaciones mantenidas a lo largo de una serie de años con Ralph Leighton, quien se encargó de grabarlas y transcribirlas.

Feynman está considerado uno de los físicos más importantes del s. XXRichard P. Feynman (1918-1988), premio Nobel de Física, fue un gran genio que se hizo muy popular gracias a su enorme capacidad de comunicar y hacerse entender por todos. Feynman era famoso por el ingenio y la sabiduría que desprendía en sus célebres conferencias y artículos, así como por su fundamental contribución a la ciencia. Este libro es un tesoro, una selección de las más profundas, provocadoras, divertidas y memorables citas de este gran científico. Michelle Feynman, hija de Richard Feynman, se ha encargado de seleccionar las citas entre su colosal legado escrito y oral, incluyendo entrevistas, conferencias, cartas, artículos y libros. Las citas se dividen en una docena de temas que van desde el arte, la infancia, el descubrimiento, la familia, la imaginación y el humor hasta las matemáticas, la política, la ciencia, la religión y la incerteza. Estos breves pasajes son una demostración de la asombrosa inteligencia de este personaje. El resultado es un retrato único e inspirador que encantará a sus fans y que, a su vez, servirá como introducción para nuevos lectores de este gran pensador.

The complete series of Feynman's landmark Lectures on Physics is highly anticipated by scientists and academics globally, offering profound insights into the principles of physics through Feynman's engaging teaching style.

A long-awaited compilation of exercises to accompany the Feynman Lectures on Physics

This three-volume work was originally designed for a two-year introductory physics course given at the California Institute of Technology--a course designed to take advantage of students' increasing mathematical prowess and to provide a more comprehensive view of modern-day physics. The volumes are an edited version of Richard Feynman's lectures, taped and transcribed specifically for the books. It was a rigorous undertaking that resulted in a classic reference work for all physics students, teachers, and researchers. Feynman's effective classroom style remains intact in these volumes, a valuable work by a remarkable educator. The three-volume commemorative issue is hardbound and packaged in a specially-designed slipcase. The lectures are also available in a student paperbound edition.

"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.

Richard Feynman’s life was filled with extraordinary adventures, from discussing atomic physics with legends like Einstein to painting and playing music. This omnibus edition compiles his captivating stories, showcasing his unique storytelling talent and humor. Included is an audio CD of his 1978 lecture "Los Alamos from Below," allowing readers to experience Feynman's engaging narrative style firsthand. Celebrated for his creativity and influence, Feynman’s tales offer both entertainment and insight into the mind of a remarkable physicist.

It was Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics. In Six Not-So-Easy Pieces, taken from these famous lectures, Feynman delves into one of the most revolutionary discoveries in twentieth-century physics: Einstein's theory of relativity. The idea that the flow of time is not constant, that the mass of an object depends on its velocity, and that the speed of light is a constant no matter what the motion of the observer, at first seemed shocking to scientists and laymen alike. But as Feynman shows, these tricky ideas are not merely dry principles of physics, but things of beauty and elegance. No one—not even Einstein himself—explained these difficult, anti-intuitive concepts more clearly, or with more verve and gusto, than Richard Feynman. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Not-So-Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of all times. “There is no better explanation for the scientifically literate layman.”—The Washington Post Book World

This book features a collection of lectures by the renowned physicist Richard P. Feynman, offering insights into quantum mechanics. It's ideal for physics students and anyone interested in a compelling introduction to this essential area of science.
