The Feynman Lectures on Physics' by Richard P. Feynman (1963)
Written by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman, it is a three-volume collection of lectures given by Feynman to undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology between 1961 and 1963.
It covers almost all of the basic topics of physics, including electromagnetism, mechanics, quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics.
The content is presented using Feynman's iconic and entertaining style of lecturing, making the book an enjoyable and accessible introduction to these topics.
Feynman's original aim was to reduce the amount of memorization and rote learning required to understand physics and to focus instead on understanding the underlying principles.
As such, the lectures contain many digressions on the history and philosophy of science, as well as anecdotes from Feynman's own life.
The book provides an excellent starting point for anyone interested in learning the basics of physics.
The Feynman Lectures on Physics has become one of the most influential and popular books on physics in the world, and is required reading in many undergraduate courses.
