“I think I can safely say that nobody understands quantum mechanics. So do not take the lecture too seriously — just relax and enjoy it.”
If you tell me which specific chapter or concept from Volume III you are studying, I can provide a deeper summary or explain a tricky derivation. The Feynman Lectures on Physics- Vol. III- The ...
When the original lectures were delivered at Caltech in 1963, the students were overwhelmed. The freshmen weren't ready for Volume III's abstraction. It was considered a failure as a classroom text. However, as a book, it became a bible. “I think I can safely say that nobody
Vol. III isn’t the easiest book you’ll ever read, but it might be one of the most mind-expanding. After you finish it, you won’t “know” quantum mechanics (no one does). But you’ll feel it — and that’s exactly what Feynman wanted. The freshmen weren't ready for Volume III's abstraction
Reading is unlike reading any other physics book. Feynman writes as if he is thinking out loud, but every casual phrase hides a deep insight.
In the pantheon of scientific literature, few works achieve the status of legend. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is one such work. While the first two volumes establish the bedrock of mechanics, radiation, and electromagnetism, it is that takes the reader on a journey into the most baffling and beautiful realm of science: Quantum Mechanics.
