Selected Papers of Richard Feynman: With Commentary (World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics, Volume 27)

This is a collection of scientific papers by Richard Feynman, renowned for their brilliant content and the author's striking style. They are grouped by topic: path integral approach to the foundations of quantum mechanics and quantum field theory, renormalized quantum electrodynamics, theory of superfluid liquid helium, theory of the Fermi interaction, polarons, gravitation, partons, computer theory, and more. Comments on Feynman's topics are provided by the editor, together with biographical notes and a complete bibliography of Feynman's publications These scientific papers of Richard Feynman are renowned for their brilliant content and the authorâ€TMs striking original style.
