Timeless and collectible, The Feynman Lectures on Physics are essential reading, not just for students of Physics, but for anyone seeking an insightful introduction to the field from the inimitable Richard P. Feynman. "When I look at The Feynman Lectures on Physics, I feel a very personal sense of closeness to them," said Feynman, looking back at the origins of these books. Ranging from Gauss's law and Maxwell's electrodynamics to waveguides, dielectrics, magnetic materials, and elasticity, the lectures collected in Volume II of The Feynman Lectures on Physics stand as a monument to clear exposition and deep insight--and to Feynman's deep connection with the field. About the Authors Richard P. Feynman was a professor of physics at Caltech from 1959 to 1988. In 1965 he shared a Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on the development of quantum electrodynamics. Robert B. Leighton was a physicist and astronomer, an esteemed teacher and textbook author, and professor at Caltech for many years.
