Feynman, Richard P. (Richard Phillips), 1918-1988
Richard P. Feynman papers, 1933-1965.
Correspondence, articles and reprints, student notebooks, typescripts. The correspondence (1939-1965) documents Feynman's early employment at General Electric Corporation, and with his colleagues on research conducted at Princeton University, Los Alamos National Laboratory, Cornell University, and the California Institute of Technology; the notebooks are from his high school mathematics courses, and a notebook of letters exchanged between Feynmann and Theodore Welton on mathematical problems while undergraduates; typescripts include Feynman's undergraduate thesis and early papers on the concept of probability in quantum physics (n.d.), the present situation in theoretical physics (1954), and the relationship of science and religion (1956). Correspondents include: Hans A. Bethe, Enrico Fermi, Samuel A. Goudsmit, Ernest O. Lawrence, J. Robert Oppenheimer, and Theodore A. Welton.
Physicist (quantum electrodynamics). Physicist for the Atomic Energy Research Project, Princeton University and Los Alamos, 1941-1945; on physics faculty at Cornell University, 1945-1951, and California Institute of Technology from 1951. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965.
