The Feynman Lectures on Physics  is a 1964  physics   textbook  by  Richard P. Feynman ,  Robert B. Leighton  and Matthew Sands , based upon the lectures given by Feynman to  undergraduate students  at the  California Institute of Technology  (Caltech) in 1961–1963. It includes lectures on  mathematics ,  electromagnetism ,  Newtonian physics , quantum physics , and the relation of physics to other sciences. Six readily accessible chapters were later compiled into a book entitled  Six Easy Pieces: Essentials of Physics Explained by Its Most Brilliant Teacher , and six more in Six Not So Easy Pieces: Einstein's Relativity, Symmetry and Space-Time . The first volume focuses on  mechanics ,  radiation , and  heat . The second volume is mainly on  electromagnetism and  matter . The third volume, on  quantum mechanics , shows, for example, how the  double-slit experiment ...
