Feynman’s celebrated undergraduate lecture series, coauthored in print form with Robert B. Leighton and Matthew Sands. Volume 1 concentrates on mechanics, radiation, and heat; it mixes conceptual explanations, intuitive physical arguments, and worked examples aimed at building physical intuition rather than presenting physics as only a formal mathematical exercise. Feynman’s style emphasizes thought experiments and visually intuitive reasoning; readers encounter clear discussions of Newtonian mechanics, conservation principles, waves and oscillations, the nature of radiation, and introductory thermodynamic ideas. Problems and exercises are provided to reinforce concepts, and the text is suitable both as a supplementary course text for undergraduate physics and as an in-depth, conceptually focused reference for motivated self-learners ER -
