Richard Phillips Feynman (/ ˈ f aɪ n m ə n /; May 11, 1918 – February 15, 1988) was an American theoretical physicist, known for his work in the path integral formulation of quantum mechanics, the theory of quantum electrodynamics, the physics of the superfluidity of supercooled liquid helium, as well as his work in particle physics for which he proposed the parton model.
Doctoral advisor. Melvin Lax. Joan Feynman (March 31, 1927 – July 21, 2020) was an American astrophysicist and space physicist. She made contributions to the study of solar wind particles and fields, sun-Earth relations, and magnetospheric physics. In particular, Feynman was known for developing an understanding of the origin of auroras.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
Miniaturization (publ. 1961) included Feynman's lecture as its final chapter. " There's Plenty of Room at the Bottom: An Invitation to Enter a New Field of Physics " was a lecture given by physicist Richard Feynman at the annual American Physical Society meeting at Caltech on December 29, 1959. [1] Feynman considered the possibility of direct ...
ISBN. 0-393-32069-3. Tuva or Bust! (1991) is a book by Ralph Leighton about the author and his friend Richard Feynman 's attempt to travel to Tuva, Siberia. The introduction explains how Feynman challenged Leighton, at the time a high school math teacher, "Whatever happened to Tannu Tuva?" Since Feynman had a reputation as a prankster, Leighton ...
0-201-36080-2. The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen Scientist is a non-fiction book by the Nobel Prize -winning physicist Richard Feynman. It is a collection of three previously unpublished public lectures given by Feynman in 1963. [1] The book was first published in hardcover in 1998, ten years after Feynman's death, by Addison–Wesley.
Adventures of a Curious Character is an edited collection of reminiscences by the Nobel Prize –winning physicist Richard Feynman. The book, published in 1985, covers a variety of instances in Feynman's life. The anecdotes in the book are based on recorded audio conversations that Feynman had with his close friend and drumming partner Ralph ...
Feynman's comments on the reliability of the shuttle, published as an appendix to the Rogers Commission's final report, are included. The second section of the book was dramatized in a television movie by BBC/Science Channel titled The Challenger Disaster. The book is much more loosely organized than the earlier Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!
