The Feynman Phectures on Lysics

The first few years of a physics degree are like this:

Lecturer: "Read the Feynman Lectures on Physics!"

Student: "What are the Feynman Lectures on Physics?"

At this point, a lot of students go out and buy themselves a set of the big red books emblazoned with the infamous silver text. But it turns out that you don't need to. This is how to get the Feynman Lectures on Physics for free.

Still learning to draw...

A Fine Man

Around the 1960's Richard Feynman gave a series of physics lectures that were to modernise the old fashioned syllabus that was being taught. At this point he was already a famous physicist. The resulting lectures were written up into books and were so good that, even 50 years later, they are still being referred to by lecturers today. Seriously, I've even heard direct quotes that were disguised to be original ... sickening.

A Free Man (Human)

A couple of weeks back I stumbled upon a site where you can get the Feynman Lectures on Physics for free. No cost, legit, online versions of the Feynman Lectures on Physics! This is where it is:

So you can get to at least first year physics degree level without paying a penny! Boom...

For the record, I was one of those who bought the books.
