這套廣受推崇的《費曼物理學講義》，源自費曼對教學的一場實驗。內容涵蓋牛頓力學、相對論與量子理論，以淺白、生動的方式介紹物理核心概念，是入門學習與珍藏閱讀的經典之作。"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman’s lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.
