Feynman, Richard P. (Richard Phillips), 1918-1988
Lectures on quantum electrodynamics [videorecording] : The Sir Douglas Robb lectures, 1979.
These four lectures at the University of Auckland were delivered by Professor Richard P. Feynman on the subject of Quantum Electrodynamics (QED), the theory underlying the interaction between light and matter. Aimed at a general audience, they provide a non-mathematical account of QED. The lectures have both educational and historical value, giving insight into the character of both the subject matter and Feynman himself. The titles are: Photons -- Corpuscles of Light; Fits of Reflection; Electrons and their Interactions; New Queries. These are the lectures upon which Richard Feynman based his best selling book, QED-the Strange Theory of Light and Matter.
