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

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.

I haven’t started it yet but it looked ok

This series of books covers everything an undergraduate would learn when taking a physics course! I was so excited to see how complete these books are. Although you do need a background in mathematics (which I have) due to the fact that Calculus and probability is used.

It was a gift to my husband. He enjoyed vol 1. He is looking forward to reading his present Vol. 2.

It's a good alternative to the confusing required text for my Electromagnetics class (Fundamentals of Applied Electromagnetics 6th Edition)... If you can read it before the semester begins I would recommend it, because I haven't been able to read the whole thing but I've loved what I've read so far!

Always excellent. Love the format. Never better

This is my preferred reference when I want to remind myself about some EM physics...

This paperback is much easier to handle than the hardback version. If you want it as a "show-off item then the Hardback version would be more appropriate.

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.

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.

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.
