Eagerly awaited by scientists and academics worldwide, Perseus Books is pleased to continue its program to publish the complete collection of audio recordings of Feynmans famous Caltech course on which his classic textbook, Lectures on Physics , was based. The fifth and sixth volumes in the collection comprise Feynman on Fundamentals. Volume 6 makes up a course in Kinetics and Heat , and includes chapters on the kinetic theory of gases, brownian motion, applications of kinetic theory, diffusion, the laws of thermodynamics, and illustrations of thermodynamics. }For more than thirty years, Richard P. Feynmans three-volume Lectures on Physics has been known worldwide as the classic resource for students and professionals alike. Ranging from the most basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as Einsteins general relativity, superconductivity, and quantum mechanics, Feynmans lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight. Responding to the tremendous clamor for the original audio tapes from which the Lectures on Physics were transcribed, Persues Books is releasing Feynmans original recordings, remastered for modern audio equipment and re-organized for cohesiveness and convenience. Timeless, and collectible, these tapes will serve as a comprehensive library of essential physics by a legend in science.The fifth and sixth volumes in the collection comprise Feynman on Fundamentals. Volume 6 makes up a course in Kinetics and Heat , and includes chapters on the kinetic theory of gases, brownian motion, applications of kinetic theory, diffusion, the laws of thermodynamics, and illustrations of thermodynamics. }
