For more than 30 years, Richard P. Feynman's 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 Einstein's general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. This timeless audio serves as a comprehensive library of essential physics by a legend in science.
Volume 1 makes up a beginning course in Quantum Mechanics and includes chapters on basic physics, quantum behavior, the relationship between the wave and particle viewpoints, probability amplitudes, and spin one and spin one-half particles.

"One of the best books to understand the physical world. Man's discoveries of are of no end and the author has given best explanation and exposure to the physics concepts known till his date. Nevertheless, principally, book bridges the gap between the mathematical equations and physical concepts." — Aravind (4 out of 5 stars)

" A beautiful reference or companion to any introductory physics course. Sighhh. "
" Fascinating. I listened on Audiobook and would have benefitted greatly from visuals, but it was fun listening to Feynman speak in his own voice. "
" Well worth the read (listen) if you have any interest in physics or mathematics. I listened to the audio recording rather than reading a transcript. Excellent material. Feynman was such an exciting and funny speaker. "
" Totally awesome for anyone interested in physics, the man was a complete genius! "
" This is an excellent set of physics lectures. Feynman was very talented at right to heart of the matter and making everything seem obvious. "
" Read & Reread & read again.. "
" Best explanation of physics ever "
" Outside of art (or maybe not), physics is mankind's most beautiful achievement; these three volumes are probably the most beautiful ever written about physics. "
Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) earned a BS from MIT and a PhD from Princeton. From 1942 to 1945, he assisted with the development of the atomic bomb. He then taught at Cornell and Caltech, where he contributed to the theories of superfluidity and quarks. He shared the 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics for work on the theory of quantum electrodynamics.
