The Feynman Lectures on Physics
Open accessAbstract
Volume I: Mainly mechanics, radiation and heat Volume II: The electromagnetic field Volume III: Quantum mechanics R. P. Feynman, R. B. Leighton and M. Sands Reading, Mass.: Addison-Wesley. 1965. Vol. I: Pp. 511. Price £3. Vol. II: Pp. 527. Price £3. Vol. III: Pp. 357. Price £2.8s. These by no means inconsiderable volumes contain a lightly edited version of the introductory physics course given by R. P. Feynman to first-and second-year students at the California Institute of Technology in the sessions 1961–2 and 1962–3. The immediate reaction on reading them is one of envy of the students who were present when they were given.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
