Feynman Lectures Simplified 3A: Quantum Mechanics Part One
Feynman Simplified gives mere mortals access to the fabled Feynman Lectures on Physics.

Quantum mechanics is rarely taught well in introductory physics courses, largely because this challenging subject was not well taught to many of today�s instructors. Few had the opportunity to learn quantum mechanics from some who understood it profoundly; almost none learned it from one of its creators. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman excels. Here more than anywhere else, Feynman Simplified can help you learn from the very best, but at a humane pace.

Feynman Simplified: 3A covers the first half of Volume 3 and chapters 37 and 38 of Volume 1 of The Feynman Lectures on Physics. The topics we explore include:

Why the Micro-World is Different.
Quantization and Particle-Wave Duality
Indeterminism and the Uncertainty Principle
Probabilities and Amplitudes
Identical Particle phenomena
Bosons and Spin One
Fermions and Spin One-Half
Time Evolution and the Hamiltonian Operator
The Two-State Ammonia Maser

Readers will greatly benefit from a prior understanding of the material in Feynman Simplified 1A, 1B and 1C. A familiarity with elementary calculus is assumed.

About the Author

Dr. Piccioni has a B.S. in Physics from Caltech, a Ph.D. in High Energy Physics from Stanford University, was a faculty member at Harvard University and did research at the Stanford Linear Accelerator in Palo Alto, Calif.

He has studied with and done research with numerous Nobel Laureates. At Caltech, one of his professors was Richard Feynman, one of the most famous physicists of the 20th century, and a good family friend.

Dr. Piccioni has introduced cutting-edge science to numerous non-scientific audiences, including school children and civic groups. He was guest lecturer on a National Geographic/Lindblad cruise. He has given invited talks at Harvard, Caltech, UCLA, and Stanford University.
