书籍简介

《费曼讲物理入门》既可以作为非理工读者学习物理的入门书，也可以作为了解费曼的入门书。诺贝尔奖获得者费曼用自己的方式，重新发明了差不多整套物理学。费曼得过诺贝尔物理学奖，称得上20世纪是伟大的物理学家之一，并且当仁不让是科学家中的大玩家。他不仅玩物理学，还玩舞蹈、玩裸体画、玩玛雅人的天文学、玩锁、玩收音机、玩化学配方，读中学时就用整套自己发明的符号玩三角学。他是将玩与创造高度统一起来的人；他给大学低年级生讲课，就把这种创造性的玩法搬上了黑板，纪录下来，就成了一套独一无二的《物理学讲义》。

Learn from a Nobel Peace Prize winner in this entertaining and educational guide to physics, written for the enjoyment of curious beginners and aspiring scientists alike.

It was Richard Feynman's outrageous and scintillating method of teaching that earned him legendary status among students and professors of physics. From 1961 to 1963, Feynman delivered a series of lectures at the California Institute of Technology that revolutionized the teaching of physics around the world. Six Easy Pieces, taken from these famous Lectures on Physics, represent the most accessible material from the series.

In these classic lessons, Feynman introduces the general reader to the following topics: atoms, basic physics, energy, gravitation, quantum mechanics, and the relationship of physics to other topics. With his dazzling and inimitable wit, Feynman presents each discussion with a minimum of jargon. Filled with wonderful examples and clever illustrations, Six Easy Pieces is the ideal introduction to the fundamentals of physics by one of the most admired and accessible physicists of modern times.

"If one book was all that could be passed on to the next generation of scientists it would undoubtedly have to be Six Easy Pieces."- John Gribbin, New Scientist

作者简介

理查德·菲利普斯·费曼（英文：Richard Phillips Feynman，1918年5月11日—1988年2月15日），美籍犹太裔物理学家，加州理工学院物理学教授，1965年诺贝尔物理奖得主 。

理查德·费曼，高中毕业之后进入麻省理工学院学习，最初主修数学和电力工程，后转修物理学。1939年以优异成绩毕业于麻省理工学院，1942年6月获得普林斯顿大学理论物理学博士学位。同年与高中相识的恋人艾琳结婚。1942年，24岁的费曼加入美国原子弹研究项目小组，参与秘密研制原子弹项目“曼哈顿计划”。1945年艾琳去世。“曼哈顿计划”结束，费曼在康奈尔大学任教。1950年到加州理工学院担任托尔曼物理学教授，直到去世。

提出了费曼图、费曼规则和重正化的计算方法，这是研究量子电动力学和粒子物理学不可缺少的工具。费曼还发现了呼麦这一演唱技法，曾一直期待去呼麦的发源地——图瓦，但是最终未能成行。 他被认为是爱因斯坦之后最睿智的理论物理学家，也是第一位提出纳米概念的人。

Richard P. Feynman (1918-1988) was the Richard Chace Tolman Professor of Theoretical Physics at the California Institute of Technology. He was awarded the 1965 Nobel Prize for his work on the development of quantum field theory. He was also one of the most famous and beloved figures of the twentieth century, both in physics and in the public arena.
