Review
Anyone with the smallest interest in physics learns that Feynman was a great physicist, on a historic scale. What might come as a surprise is that his original papers maintain a special freshness and life even today. He always tried to construct his own version of physics, from the ground up, squeezing the maximum of insight from the minimum of formalism. In his greatest successes, including path integrals, the modern version of quantum electrodynamics, and the parton model, he achieves a combination of originality, simplicity, and power that is like Mozart's best music, a reliable source of refreshment and inspiration. But even his lesser works contain unique material. The path-integral variational principle, the ordered operator calculus, and the influence functional, for example, are nowhere better presented than in Feynman's original papers, and they may be capable of much further development. --Frank Wilczek, Nobel Laureate
Feynman s reputation ultimately rests on his major contributions to science, which this book amply documents ... such a selection of key papers is a useful reference. --CERN Courier
This book has an excellent chronological bibliography of Feynman s work ... --Choice
Product Description
These scientific papers of Richard Feynman are renowned for their brilliant content and the author s striking original style. They are grouped by topic: path integral approach to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, renormalized quantum electrodynamics, theory of superfluid liquid helium, theory of the Fermi interaction, polarons, gravitation, partons, computer theory, etc. Comments on Feynman s topics are provided by the editor, together with biographical notes and a complete bibliography of Feynman s publications.
