Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.
Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses, largely because this challenging subject was not well taught to many of today’s instructors. Few had the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics from some who understood it profoundly; almost none learned it from one of its creators. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman excels. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman Simplified can help you learn from the very best, but at a humane pace.
Feynman Simplified: 3A covers the first half of Volume 3 and chapters 37 and 38 of Volume 1 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:
- Why the Micro-World is Different.
- Quantization and Particle-Wave Duality
- Indeterminism and the Uncertainty Principle
- Probabilities and Amplitudes
- Identical Particle phenomena
- Bosons and Spin One
- Fermions and Spin One-Half
- Time Evolution and the Hamiltonian Operator
- The Two-State Ammonia Maser
Readers will greatly benefit from a prior understanding of the material in Feynman Simplified 1A, 1B and 1C. A familiarity with elementary calculus is assumed.
