Happy belated 107th Birthday wishes for Richard Feynman (May 11, 1918 – Feb 15, 1988), winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965, one of the greatest physicists and teachers of all time.
Some interesting tidbits from en.wikipedia.org/...:
When Feynman was 15, he taught himself trigonometry, advanced algebra, infinite series, analytic geometry, and differential and integral calculus.
Feynman applied to Columbia Univ in 1935 but was rejected because of its limited quota for Jews. So, he attended MIT.
At Feynman's first seminar, in February 1941, which was on the classical version of the Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory, attendees included Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli, and John von Neumann.
which was on the classical version of the Wheeler–Feynman absorber theory, attendees included Albert Einstein, Wolfgang Pauli, and John von Neumann. Feynman received a PhD from Princeton in 1942. James Gleick wrote “This was Richard Feynman nearing the crest of his powers. At twenty-three ... there may now have been no physicist on earth who could match his exuberant command over the native materials of theoretical science.”
Here is an interesting graphic of the Feynman Learning Technique.
Let's practice it when playing and writing about Chess or when writing any post on social media.
Yes, Feynman had his faults. We can talk about them some other time.
Now let’s apply our learning techniques to today’s puzzle composed in 1868 by British composer Ralph Herbert Bridgewater (1874 - 1948).
