  • Page Length: 180 pages
  • 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.
  • 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.

That's One more than Five Easy Pieces, so slightly more difficult.

Fyneman was a pioneer in science education. All our modern science textbooks are modelled after his visual teaching style. Specifically, displaying in diagrams what the atoms are doing. It's a good book, but it shows its age as diagrams have gotten significantly better in conveying information. But for $2 you get a piece of history.

Also this book rarely drops this low.

One would think it drops at a predictable rate.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank tstaylor

I read this book about 20 years ago and found it very interesting, informative, and easy to understand. I have no background in physics, but I think it is a fascinating field of science. For $2, you can't lose!

Feynman was a pioneer in Physics. Nobel Prize & solved the reason for the Challenger disaster.

For folks who like this book, check out Feynman's book QED. He explains what he won the Nobel Prize for in simple terms. One of the best books I've ever read.

When Feynman orders some toast, by god he gets it with no back talk.

Thanks op. Apparently these are chapters from his lectures in physics at caltech (in 60s) which are made available free on a caltech site.
