From the 16th century onward, scientists began to understand that the stars in the heavens are suns much like our own. They started to wonder whether those other suns had their own planets. And if so, they wondered, could any of those planets be like Earth. Profound questions, but how could...

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...

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman Simplified: 2B covers one quarter of Volume 2 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include: Magnetostatics Dynamic Electric & Magnetic Fields Filters & Transmission...

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations. Feynman...

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. Feynman Simplified: 2C covers one quarter of Volume 2 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include: Relativistic Maxwell’s Equations Lorentz Transform for Potentials & Fields Field...

This book is the fourth stage of our exploration of Quantum Mechanics in the Everyone’s Guide Series. We first review waves and particle-wave duality. We'll revisit the Uncertaintly Principle, and discuss the Two-Slit Experiment in depth. Then, we delve deeper into wavefunctions...

The major concepts and discoveries of science are comprehensible to everyone with keen interest and patience. But to really participate in fundamental science, particularly in physics, one must master a lot of math. Math is what prevents most science enthusiasts from becoming scientists. This...

As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. He had an uncanny ability to unravel the most complex mysteries, reveal the key underlying principles, and provide a profound understanding of nature. His style and enthusiasm...

This is the third book in the Everyone’s Guide Series devoted to Einstein’s Theory of Special Relativity. In this book, we explore the primary application of Special Relativity: high-energy particle physics. Subatomic particles travel closer to the speed of light than any other form of matter....

Most people know that Einstein was a great scientist, but many think his theories are so esoteric and purely academic that they have nothing to do with our daily lives. Wrong! In our technology-driven society, where even toothbrushes contain microcomputers, Einstein’s legacy is everywhere....

Feynman Simplified 4B is an unprecedented catalog and explanation of every key principle and important equation in all of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. This book is an encyclopedia of great physics, from the lectures of one of history’s most brilliant scientists. In addition, this book...

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman excels. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman Simplified can help you learn from the very best,...
