Feynman, Richard P. (Richard Phillips), 1918-1988
Richard Feynman Lectures in Elementary Particles lecture notes, 1962.
These lecture notes were created by editing transcriptions of tape recordings of the 52 semi-weekly lectures given by Richard Feynman at California Institute of Technology (Caltech) during the 1961-62 school year from the first year of a two-year introductory course taken by all Caltech students. Lectures include: (1) Atoms in motion; (2) Basic physics; (3) The relation of physics to other sciences; (4) Conservation of energy; (5) Time and distance; (6) Probability; (7) The theory of gravitation; (8) Motion; (9) Newton's laws of dynamics; (10) Conservation of momentum; (11) Vectors; (12) Characteristics of force; (13) Work and potential energy [A]; (14) Work and potential energy [concl.]; (15) The special theory of relativity; (16) Relativistic energy and momentum; (17) Space - time; (18) Rotation in two dimensions; (19) Center of mass; Moment of Inertia; (20) Rotation in space; (21) The harmonic oscillator; (22) Algebra; (23) Resonance; (24) Transients; (25) Linear systems and review; (26) Optics: the principle of least time; (27) Geometrical optics; (28) Electromagnetic radiation; (29) Interference; (30) Diffraction; (31) The origin of the refractive index; (32) Radiation damping -- light scattering; (33) Color vision; (34) Mechanisms of seeing; (35) Polarization; (36) Relativistic effects in radiation; (37) Quantum behavior; (38) The relation of wave and particle viewpoints; (39) The kinetic theory of gases; (40) The principles of statistical mechanics; (41) The Brownian movement; (42) Applications of kinetic theory; (43) Diffusion; (44) The laws of thermodynamics; (45) Illustrations of thermodynamics; (46) Ratchet and pawl; (47) sound; the wave equation; (48) Beats; (49) Modes; (50) Harmonics; (51) Waves; (52) Symmetry in physical laws.
Feynman (1918-1988). Physicist (quantum electrodynamics). Affiliations: Atomic Bomb Research Project, Princeton University and Los Alamos (1941-1945); on the physics faculty at Cornell University (1945-1951), and Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at California Institute of Technology from 1951 until his death. Awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965 for his work in quantum electrodynamics.
