Synopsis "Feynman´s Tips on Physics (in English)"

Feynman's Tips on Physics is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics With characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from The Feynman Lectures on Physics. An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark lecture series. Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally developed to supplement The Feynman Lectures on Physics, by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt. Feynman's Tips on Physics was co-authored by Michael A. Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of The Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Feynman ha sido uno de los científicos más importantes en la historia de la física en el siglo XX. Fue un divulgador entusiasta de la física a través de libros y conferencias. Colaboró en el desarrollo de la bomba atómica durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial y se hizo conocido para un amplio público en la década de 1980 como miembro de la Comisión Rogers, el grupo que investigó el desastre del transbordador espacial Challenger. Por sus contribuciones al desarrollo de la electrodinámica cuántica, Feynman, junto con Julian Schwinger y Sin-Itiro Tomonaga, recibió el Premio Nobel de Física en 1965.
