Feynman Lectures Simplified 1D: Angular Momentum, Sound, Waves, Symmetry & Vision

by Robert Piccioni

Overview

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics. As a Caltech undergraduate, I had the amazing opportunity to learn physics directly from the greatest scientist of our age. I absorbed all I could. His style and enthusiasm were as important as the facts and equations.

Feynman Simplified: 1D covers about a quarter of Volume 1, the freshman course, of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:

Angular Momentum
Moments of Inertia
Rotations in Three-Dimensions
Sound & Beat Frequencies
Modes & Harmonics
Fourier Series & Transforms
Complex Waves
Symmetry Properties of Natural Laws

About the Author

Dr. Piccioni has a B.S. in Physics from Caltech, a Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from Stanford University, was a faculty member at Harvard University and did research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator in Palo Alto, Calif.

He has studied with and done research with numerous Nobel Laureates. At Caltech, one of his professors was Richard Feynman, one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century, and a good family friend.

Dr. Piccioni has introduced cutting-edge science to numerous non-scientific audiences, including school children and civic groups. He was guest lecturer on a National Geographic/Lindblad cruise. He has given invited talks at Harvard, Caltech, UCLA, and Stanford University.
