The Feynman Lectures on Physics are now free on the web #Physics #HTML5 #Books @Caltech

Caltech’s Division of Physics, Mathematics and Astronomy and The Feynman Lectures Website have released a new, modern online edition of the Feynman Lectures on Physics.

This edition has been designed for ease of reading on devices of any size or shape; text, figures and equations can all be zoomed without degradation.

This HTML5-based edition features LaTeX equations rendered by MathJax JavaScript, and scalable vector graphic (SVG) figures. Your browser must support javascript and permit scripts from mathjax.org. LocalStorage must be enabled. We recommend using a modern browser; some older browsers may not display this edition correctly. PNG figures (that degrade when scaled) may be served to browsers that do not support SVG. We do not support versions of Internet Explorer older than 8.0. For information about MathJax features and accessibility options, right-click on any display equation.

There are three volumes:

  • Volume I – mainly mechanics, radiation, and heat
  • Volume II – mainly electromagnetism and matter
  • Volume III – quantum mechanics

See this new but classic publication now (in a modern, HTML5 capable browser)

Happy New Year 2025
Happy New Year from Adafruit!

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

  1. When will the original recordings be released for those who have difficulty reading? (Or those who just enjoy Feynman’s unique voice?)

  2. The site does not mention anything about release of audio versions. There are some cassette and CD versions released 15+ years ago but nothing recent that I can see. Look for ISBN-13 978-0-7382-0924-1 and LSN 0-7382-0924-4

    Otherwise the website for the print books above has contact information.
