The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. II: The New Millennium Edition: Mainly Electromagnetism and Matter: 02 (Feynman Lectures on Physics (Paperback))

Feynman' inimitable style works very well here to teach the topics in an easily graspable way. I have found them invaluable as a supplemental resource to iron out any difficulties I have with the theory. However, they do not give you any experience with solving actual problems. This is not a fault of the lectures - they are obviously not intended for this purpose. The book itself is high quality - the formatting of text and diagrams is top notch. This edition benefits from many corrections to the original lectures. I highly recommend this (and the full set) to any physics student - they are a resource for life.

Well it's kept my partner quiet for hours, I brought all three as an Xmas present. The OH was delighted, he watches Big Bang Theroy and comments on the maths etc .... (He is a scientist after all). Although he didn't directly do physics..... More chip design ( not the fried ones the silicon stuff you cannot eat). The paper appears thickish so when reading up on how to build a small wormhole it does not dissolve and actually to a non theoretical particle physics person looks quite interesting.

If you want any of the Feynman's and they're not in stock, order early! These books vol.I-III were bought for my son (Physics M.A. course) You'll want them for the start of year 2. He found the books essential reading. I thought about the hard-backs, but thought these would be easier to transport. Other Feynman's from this publisher were also delayed. Amazon are cheaper than rivals but seem to have difficulty filling the order, they blame the publisher. (Amazon don't charge until dispatch)

Brilliant book about electromagnetism and matter. This Feynman Lectures on Physics , Vol.2. is much more diffcult to understand than Vol.1. Feynman won the Nobelprize of Physics, because of his work about quantumelectrodynamics. He delivered extremely important works and understanding of quantum mechanics and particle physics. These subjects are in this great book. Please read and understand.

My son is happy, I am too.

Feynman is literally a master when it comes to teaching difficult topics in physics, and these series of books based on his lectures pretty much saved me during a particularly difficult module in Electromagnetism. If you're struggling, this *will* help!

Good book. All physics lover must have it

Great value for money with being paperback. Contains relevant physic content. Recipient very happy with text. Follows on from Volume 1.

Arrived with in the expected time frame. Husband loved it. Exactly as described and expected.

Un des meilleurs livres de physique au monde, il est clair, il donne une bonne intuition des phénomènes physiques. Tous les concepts y compris les plus compliqué sont clairement expliqué. Je recommande la lecture de ce livre à tout étudiant en licence de physique ou en classe préparatoire. Plus largement ce livre devrait intéressé toutes personnes que la physique attire. C'est simple même en cherchant longtemps vous ne trouverez pas mieux. J'apprécie énormément la mise en page de cette édition en anglais, les marges sont grande pour qu'on puisse y prendre des notes. De plus les textes sont en noir et blanc donc on peut surligner si besoins En revanche je déplore la couverture qui est beaucoup trop fine à mon goût pour un livre de cette taille. Il existe une édition (rouge) avec une couverture plus rigide.

I wish I had these books at the start of college! Feynman has an explicit way of making a difficult subject perfectly clear. He uses parallels, meaning he will use common every day objects to explain physics problem. Then, he will apply the actual physics. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone who loves and enjoys physics.

Ottimo libro

Richard Feynman no solo fue un reconocido científico ni un divertidísimo divulgador, fue también un excelente profesor. Este libro es una delicia. Está explicado de forma cuidada y accesible. Muy alejado de los manuales académicos tipo Lorrain Corson, que parecen escritos para el lucimiento ante catedráticos de física. Feynman se dirige a cada estudiante particular de forma coloquial, le reta a usar su intuición, a buscar paralelismos. A veces divaga siguiendo hilos argumentales que le despiertan su curiosidad: los fenómenos atmosféricos, la composición de la materia... pero sin olvidar que se dirige a un auditorio no especializado. La edición está muy cuidada. Buenas figuras y sencillas de interpretar. Se contiene en el uso de las matemáticas. Un libro extraordinario.
