Abstract

Volume I: Mainly mechanics, radiation and heat Volume II: The electromagnetic field Volume III: Quantum mechanics R. P. Feynman, R. B. Leighton and M. Sands Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley. 1965. Vol. I: Pp. 511. Price £3. Vol. II: Pp. 527. Price £3. Vol. III: Pp. 357. Price £2.8s.

These by no means inconsiderable volumes contain a lightly edited version of the introductory physics course given by R. P. Feynman to first-and second-year students at the California Institute of Technology in the sessions 1961–2 and 1962–3. The immediate reaction on reading them is one of envy of the students who were present when they were given.
