Book Description

Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman's lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.

• Richard P. Feynman 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.

• People's Physics Book (James H. Dann, et al.)

  This book provides a reference guide to the topics covered in most introductory physics courses. This book is geared towards students in a college-level introductory physics class, but can be used at the high school level.

• Atomic Physics for Everyone: No College-Level Prerequisites

  This open access textbook introduces high school students to the world of quantum mechanics and atomic spectroscopy. Focuses on concepts to make the excitement of atomic physics more accessible for learners than ever before.

• An Introduction to Particle Physics and the Standard Model

  This book familiarizes readers with what is considered tested and accepted and in so doing, gives them a grounding in particle physics in general, takes an historical approach showing how the model is linked to the physics in less challenging areas.

• The Physics of Quantum Mechanics (James Binney, et al.)

  This book aims to give students a good understanding of how quantum mechanics describes the material world. It shows that the theory follows naturally from the use of probability amplitudes to derive probabilities.

• Principles of Mechanics: Fundamental University Physics

  This textbook takes the reader step-by-step through the concepts of mechanics in a clear and detailed manner. Many proofs and examples are included to help the reader grasp the fundamentals fully, paving the way to deal with more advanced topics.

• Structure and Interpretation of Classical Mechanics

  This innovative textbook concentrates on developing general methods for studying the behavior of classical systems. It focuses on the phenomenon of motion and makes extensive use of computer simulation in its explorations of the topic.

• Variational Principles in Classical Mechanics (Douglas Cline)

  This book introduces variational principles and their application to classical mechanics. The relative merits of the intuitive Newtonian vectorial formulation, and the more powerful variational formulations are compared.

• The Key to Newton's Dynamics (J. Bruce Brackenridge)

  This book clearly explains the surprisingly simple analytical structure that underlies the determination of the force necessary to maintain ideal planetary motion, sets the problem in historical and conceptual perspective, showing the works of both Descartes and Galileo.

• Statistical Mechanics of Lattice Systems: Mathematical Introduction

  This motivating textbook gives a friendly, rigorous introduction to fundamental concepts in equilibrium statistical mechanics, covering a selection of specific models, including the Curie–Weiss and Ising models, the Gaussian free field, etc.

• Relativity: The Special and General Theory (Albert Einstein)

  The great physicist himself disclaimed this exclusionary view, and in this book, he explains both theories in their simplest and most intelligible form for the layman not versed in the mathematical foundations of theoretical physics.

• An Advanced Course in General Relativity (Eric Poisson)

  Focusing on conceptual clarity, he derives all the basic results in the simplest way, taking care to explain the physical, philosophical and mathematical ideas at the heart of "the most beautiful of all scientific theories".

• Quantum Computing Since Democritus (Scott Aaronson)

  This book takes readers on a tour through some of the deepest ideas of maths, computer science and physics. Full of insights, arguments and philosophical perspectives, the book covers an amazing array of topics.
