The Feynman Lectures on Physics, Vol. III
Looking back on the beginnings of his lectures, Richard Feynman observed late in his career, "The whole thing was basically an experiment." The experiment was a big success, and the results were published in books that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Feynman's lectures are a monument of clear presentation and profound understanding, ranging from the fundamental principles of Newtonian physics to such difficult ideas as general relativity and quantum mechanics. The lectures are important reading not only for physics students, but for anybody looking for an introduction to the discipline from the incomparable Feynman.
