Overview

Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses, largely because this challenging subject was not well taught to many of today's instructors. Few had the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics from some who understood it profoundly; almost none learned it from one of its creators. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman excels. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman Simplified can help you learn from the very best, but at a humane pace.

Feynman Simplified: 3A covers the final third of Volume 3 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:

Quantum Behavior of Elementary Particles
Angular Momentum & Rotations of Any Spin
Electron Atomic States & The Periodic Table
Philosophy of Wave Functions & Probability
Macroscopic QM: Superconductivity
Entanglement, Schrödinger's Cat & Teleportation
EPR Paradox: QM vs. Local Realism
Alternative Interpretations of QM

And if you are looking for information about a specific topic, peruse our free downloadable index to the entire Feynman Simplified series found on my website "Guide to the Cosmos . com"

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.
