Feynman gave his famous course on computation at the California Institute of Technology, he asked Tony Hey to adapt his lecture notes into a book. Although led by Feynman, the course also featured, as occasional guest speakers, some of the most brilliant men in science at that time, including Marvin Minsky, Charles Bennett, and John Hopfield. Although the lectures are now thirteen years old, most of the material is timeless and presents a "Feynmanesque" overview of many standard and some not-so-standard topics in computer science such as reversible logic gates and quantum computers. 3148143 1996 Feynman Lectures on Computation total:39|5:1|4:0|3:1|2:0|1:0| 39 161 76 4 4 0 false false Sun Jun 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat Dec 27 00:35:46 -0800 2008 Tue Jun 30 00:21:55 -0700 2009 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Wed Feb 18 17:13:02 -0800 2009 Wed Feb 18 17:14:24 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Dec 18 21:06:22 -0800 2007 Tue Dec 18 21:12:32 -0800 2007 more...]]> 3 0 false false Wed Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2003 Fri Sep 14 10:24:52 -0700 2007 Fri Sep 14 10:26:44 -0700 2007 0 0 false false Sun Nov 15 07:36:17 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 15 07:36:17 -0800 2009 5 0 false false Thu Oct 15 08:06:17 -0700 2009 Thu Oct 15 08:06:17 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Wed Sep 23 20:14:19 -0700 2009 Wed Sep 23 20:14:19 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Sun Sep 20 03:54:38 -0700 2009 Sun Sep 20 03:54:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Fri Sep 11 12:03:35 -0700 2009 Fri Sep 11 12:03:35 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Aug 13 06:40:56 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 06:40:56 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri Aug 07 21:08:54 -0700 2009 Fri Aug 07 21:08:54 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sun Jun 28 17:36:19 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 13:38:57 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Thu Jun 25 11:57:15 -0700 2009 Thu Jun 25 11:57:15 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Fri May 29 17:21:38 -0700 2009 Fri May 29 17:21:38 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Thu May 21 22:27:51 -0700 2009 Thu May 21 22:27:51 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Sat May 02 05:33:59 -0700 2009 Sat May 02 05:33:59 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 31 11:40:29 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 31 11:40:29 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Mar 27 04:13:12 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 27 04:13:12 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 15:14:03 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 15:16:53 -0700 2009 0 0 false false Tue Mar 17 15:12:26 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 15:13:29 -0700 2009 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=17274
