Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics

Excellent companion to the series of physics books

I must admit the questions posed here are much tougher that I thought the would be. Also they don't give answers to all of them, so it's more of a brain teaser or an expanded range of "We leave it to the student to...".

A great collection of exercises not just to practice but rather to help to get into the way of building creative problem solving mindset.

Lovely book! The quality is really good with no defects. Delivered early too!

I was pleased to receive my item but not so thrilled about how it’s been handled. I take as much care with my stuff and books as possible so to receive my NEW item with the front cover having been bent back and creased didn’t impress me much. I guess when it’s on my bookshelf I won’t see it. Out of sight…

The item was as described and arrived on time.

Fantastic!

岩波版の「ファインマン物理学」の巻末問題の解答集が欲しかったので、購入してみましたが、全ての問題に解答が与えられる訳ではなく、解答も略解というか答えがあるだけでした。全320ページ中28ページが解答に充てられているページ数です。 また、岩波版「ファインマン物理学」の巻末問題とは順番も違いますし、ちゃんと確かめていませんが問題数も違うかも。 岩波版の「ファインマン物理学」を持っていれば、改めて買う必要も無いかも。

I have been a staff member for the edX/MITx online courses in Quantum Mechanics 8.04x-8.06x, as well as a CTA for innumerable online MOOC courses in mathematics and physics. In the discussion forums for those courses, when students ask how can they learn enough physics to meet the prerequisites for these QM courses, I always recommend that they read the Feynman Lectures on Physics, they are an incomparable resource for physics students. I first read the Feynman lectures in 1974, and even had exercise books, first the small paperback for volume 3, and later the now out of print exercises in introductory physics by Leighton and Vogt. Amazingly, I never did the exercises. Until now. I recently purchased the Millennium edition exercises (blue book), and have worked through about 1/2 of the exercises. Many are interesting, some routine, some a little more challenging, so far I would not consider any to be puzzle type problems that I am not fond of. To get a taste simply, go the the Feynman Lectures on Physics Website maintained by Michael Gottlieb, and go to the exercise tab where there are about 50 problems with complete solutions. The blue book only contains answers, not detailed solutions. The blue exercise book itself, contains 908 problems in 85 chapters that more or less parallel the chapters in the Feynman Lectures on Physics. My only complaint is that there are 655 problems devoted to volume I, 184 problems to volume II, and 69 to volume III. Basically as the material gets more advanced, the number of problems drops considerably e.g. there is only 1 problem on the vector potential chapter. I know it is harder to compose problems for more advanced material, but I suspect this is not the cause. Probably many of the problems have simply been lost from the original course runs. Anyway for a second edition it would be nice if more problems could be added for the electromagnetism and quantum mechanics volumes.

I wish he were my Professor of Physics. The entire set is amazing. He can find simple examples to explain very complex things.

El libro viene protegido y de la mayor calidad posible, casi ningun doblez o impertinencia. Un libro muy bueno para acompañar los libros de las lecturas de Feynman
