The Feynman Lectures on Physics Vol 1
Richard Feynman brings the universe to life through a teaching style that prioritizes physical intuition over complex equations. This volume introduces the fundamental principles of mechanics, radiation, and heat, transforming abstract scientific concepts into relatable insights. Originally delivered at Caltech, these lectures capture the energy and curiosity of a Nobel laureate who believed that…
