Approximately 8.75 inches by 11 inches. 3 volumes. Illustrations. Index. Volume I: The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Mainly Mechanics, Radiation, and Heat; Volume II (0805309472: The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Mainly Electromagnetism and Matter; and Volume III (0805390499): The Feynman Lectures on Physics: Quantum Mechanics. Volume I has slightly more cover wear than the other two volumes. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is based on lectures by Richard P. Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology, during 1961-1963. The book's co-authors are Feynman, Robert B. Leighton, and Matthew Sands. The Feynman Lectures on Physics is perhaps the most significant physics book ever written. A 2013 review in Nature described the book as having "simplicity, beauty, unity . presented with enthusiasm and insight". The three original volumes of The Feynman Lectures were produced very quickly, working from and expanding on tape recordings and blackboard photos of the 1961-1963 course lectures. Feynman accumulated long lists of claimed errata. Feynman found time in the 1960's and early 1970's to check most of the claimed errata for volumes I and II and insert corrections into subsequent printings. After his death in 1988, lists of unchecked errata were deposited in the Caltech archives. In 2002 these lists were recovered and combined with a new list compiled by an associate. At the time of the publication of this Definitive Edition all known errata have been corrected. The errata corrected in this edition come from three sources. About 80 percent are from Michael Gottlieb; most of the rest are from an anonymous reader, and the remainder are from scattered short lists provided to Feynman and others by various readers. Definitive Edition (Volumes I and III are 4th printing, Volume II is 9th printing.).
