Feynman's Tips on Physics is a delightful collection of Richard P. Feynman's insights and an essential companion to his legendary Feynman Lectures on Physics. With characteristic flair, insight, and humour, Feynman discusses topics physics students often struggle with and offers valuable tips on addressing them. Included here are three lectures on problem-solving and a lecture on inertial guidance omitted from The Feynman Lectures on Physics . An enlightening memoir by Matthew Sands and oral history interviews with Feynman and his Caltech colleagues provide firsthand accounts of the origins of Feynman's landmark lecture series. Also included are incisive and illuminating exercises originally developed to supplement The Feynman Lectures on Physics , by Robert B. Leighton and Rochus E. Vogt. Feynman's Tips on Physics was co-authored by Michael A. Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton to provide students, teachers, and enthusiasts alike an opportunity to learn physics from some of its greatest teachers, the creators of The Feynman Lectures on Physics .

Perseus Books is pleased to continue its program to publish the complete collection of audio recordings of Feynman's famous Caltech course on which his classic textbook, Lectures on Physics, was based. This season we present the third and fourth volumes, which together we call "Feynman on Matter". We plan to release two more volumes per list until all III lectures have been published.These two volumes in the collection comprise a complete course on matter: Volume 3: From Crystal Structure to Magnetism includes chapters on the internal geometry of crystals, the refractive index of dense materials, elastic materials, dielectrics, and magnetism.Volume 4: Electrical and Magnetic Behavior includes chapters on propagation in a crystal lattice, semiconductors, the independent particle approximation, the Schrodinger equation in a classical context, superconductivity, paramagnetism and magnetic resonance, and ferromagnetism.
