The Feynman Lectures on Physics is a physics textbook based on a great number of lectures by Richard Feynman, a Nobel laureate who has sometimes been called "The Great Explainer". [1] The lectures were presented before undergraduate students at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech), during 1961–1964.
According to his video introduction, Gates saw the lectures when he was younger. [2] He enjoyed the physics concepts and Feynman's lecturing style, and later acquired the rights to make the video available to the public. He hopes that this will encourage others to make educational content available for free. [3]
After three years at the Harvard Society of Fellows, he joined the Yale physics department, which he chaired between 2001-2007. [3] He is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.
