Zusatztext "Using clear language! many visuals! and his own Feynman diagrams! the author presents a clear introduction to the quantum theory of the inter-action of light with matter! without mathematics but with humor." Informationen zum Autor Richard P. Feynman (1918–1988) was professor of physics at the California Institute of Technology. A. Zee is professor of physics at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. His many books include Fly by Night Physics , On Gravity , Group Theory in a Nutshell for Physicists , Einstein Gravity in a Nutshell , Quantum Field Theory in a Nutshell , and Fearful Symmetry (all Princeton). Klappentext Here Nobel laureateFeynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely! quantum electrodynamics)! that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language! spatial concepts! visualizations! and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics! Feynman clearly and humorously communicates both the substance and spirit of QED to the layperson. A. Zee's introduction places Feynman's book and his seminal contribution to QED in historical context and further highlights Feynman's uniquely appealing and illuminating style. Zusammenfassung Celebrated for his brilliantly quirky insights into the physical world! Nobel laureate Richard Feynman also possessed an extraordinary talent for explaining difficult concepts to the general public. Here Feynman provides a classic and definitive introduction to QED (namely! quantum electrodynamics)! that part of quantum field theory describing the interactions of light with charged particles. Using everyday language! spatial concepts! visualizations! and his renowned "Feynman diagrams" instead of advanced mathematics!
