At one time, California University of Technology teachers thought about how they could rebuild the physics course to make it more entertaining and modern. The presentation of the material in old textbooks was so boring that it discouraged even the most diligent students from learning. Richard Feynman enthusiastically picked up this idea and developed a new, author's course of lectures on general physics. Giving these lectures, he, in his own words, focused on the smartest and most gifted, however, he tried to take into account the interests of that student, whom all this fireworks of thoughts can alarm and scare away, and arranged the material in such a way that even this student had in his head the main core and understanding of what he can get in perspective by continuing to study physics at a more serious level. This edition includes the introductory part of the lectures on the general laws of nature.
