In my opinion, the Feynman Lectures on Physics is a must-have for physics majors who really want to learn about physics. The books are quite large, with some editions having three volumes. Unfortunately, they do not include a problem set to check your understanding of the material. However, recently other textbooks have been created that include problem sets that can be used in conjunction with the Feynman Lectures. Feynman's passion for physics is evident in his textbooks, and the material covers almost every topic for first-year undergraduate students. The books can also be used as a reference. I plan to read them cover to cover. The mechanics topics are crystal clear and start with the basics, such as vectors and their properties, equations of motion, and Newton's laws of motion. etc.

This was my fallback textbook throughout my physics education at Cornell. They're dense, fascinating, and wonderful.

I acquired my copy as a prize for being the nerdiest student in my year at Ithaca High; the thing that makes it especially meaningful is that my copy is inscribed by Hans Bethe.

Наверное я слишком завысил ожидания от книги, верил, что удивит, так удивит)
Ан нет… как такое может «зажечь» не совсем ясно, может Фейнман хорошо вёл лекцию лично, так сказать харизмой брал, но в тексте это как-то не цепляет.
Ребёнку такое не посоветуешь.
Сочувствующим гуманитариям не порекомендуешь.
Взрослым (состоявшимся) технарям наверно будет вообще скучно.
Короче, так и не понял на кого рассчитаны сии лекции.

This is one of the classics. I read it long ago when I was a graduate student. I just gave a copy to my grandson, Marlen, as a birthday present

It's been many years, but this was my freshman physics textbook in 1966 at Caltech. Feynman himself had taught the course the year before!

Simply the most compelling collection of lectures on physics by one of the greatest educators of the 20th century.

The older I get, the more I appreciate the beauty of Feynman's lectures.

Me lo lei para tener otra perspectiva de los temas que vi, bueno.

Although the Feynman Lectures are not always well-pitched for their intended undergraduate audience, the author's explanations of many physics topics are unsurpassed. The writing is lucid, well-structured and authoritative, and only let down a little by Feynman's occasional failure to appreciate the difficulty of the concepts he is setting out.
