Tips on Physics: A Problem-Solving Supplement to the Feynman Lectures on Physics

Feynman’s witty shortcut to physics mastery

This is a great pick if you like learning from someone who makes hard ideas feel surprisingly approachable. It has that classic Feynman mix of sharp intuition, humor, and practical exam-focused advice, so it feels less like a dry supplement and more like a brilliant mentor talking you through the sticking points. The added memoir and exercises make it especially satisfying for readers who enjoy both the thinking behind physics and the story behind great teaching.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

This book may contain very minor cosmetic defects, but it is in pristine condition. There should be no yellowing, no foxing, no water damage, and no annotations of any kind on the cover and the pages. For paperbacks, there should not be any crease marks on the spine. This book is good as new — lucky you!

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Very Good Condition

This book has been used, but it is still in a clean condition. There should be no foxing or annotations of any kind on the inner pages, but a sparse amount may be present on the cover, title pages, or outside edges of the book. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be light crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Books in Good Condition

We do our best to ensure the quality of our books, but there is no escaping the wear and tear that comes with time. Slight foxing and some annotations may be present on the pages and the cover. There should be no water damage of any kind. For paperbacks, there may be several crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

The cover and pages may include moderate foxing and annotations, but the text is not obscured and still readable. Moderate cosmetic defects and minor water damage may be present on the edges of the book. For paperbacks, there may be multiple crease marks on the spine.

*Books may be missing bundle media (e.g. CD, e-book code), if included.

Description

This volume collects four lectures by Feynman given to students preparing for exams. With his characteristic flair, insight, and humor, Feynman discusses topics students struggle with and offers tips on solving physics problems. It includes a memoir by Matthew Sands, who originally conceived The Feynman Lectures on Physics, offering insight into the history of Feynman’s lecture series and the books that followed. The volume is complemented by relevant exercises and answers by R. B. Leighton and R. E. Vogt, originally developed to accompany the Lectures on Physics.
