    Either way it must also be noted that Feynman also won the Putnman math competition while in Uni, anyone that has sat this exam knows how difficult it is. While in highschool Feynman won the new York city math competition by such a large margin that the officials encouraged Feynman's parents to send him to an Ivy league school despite the Jewish quotas.

    Richard Feynman had Mr. Bader as well.
    "When I was in high school, my physics teacher-whose name was Mr. Bader-called me down one day after physics class and said, ‘You look bored; I want to tell you something interesting.’ Then he told me something which I found absolutely fascinating, and have, since then, always found fascinating. Every time the subject comes up, I work on it. In fact, when I began to prepare this lecture I found myself making more analyses on the thing. Instead of worrying about the lecture, I got involved in a new problem. The subject is this-the principle of least action." from "The Feynman Lectures on Physics", Vol.II, Chapter 19.

      How interesting. In the 1960's I studied electrical engineering at Birmingham University. Professor J T Allanson taught us linear circuit analysis and synthesis. It all seemed pretty obvious for me - at the age of 14 I had read an article on how to analyse circuits with only simple arithmetic and some approximations which made everything clear intuitively so for several yearts I had been designing tone controls and filters. Professor Allanson saw that for me the course was not very difficult. He leant me an old book on the principle of least action and told me to use it to work out the analysis of LC networks.

The way he subtly brought in the core notions of quantum mechanics, including the Schrodinger equations (without even saying so, just looking at the obviousness on how states should change with time). Right from my high-school days (when I was
      accidentally introduced to the three volumes) to well past my PhD (in physics), over the decades I have read the three volumes cover to cover several times, and found
      it was fascinating at every level of understanding. The more advanced I grew, the more subtleties got revealed.

    I worked at Thinking Machines, where Richard Feynman was a consultant. Danny Hillis (founder of Thinking Machines, where Marvin Minsky- a key role in the progression of AI, was on the board) told me Feynman played a major role in the design of the 32-dimensional router (connecting the 65K processors). He also told me about Feynman's IQ score- that he was told by Feynman's sister who also has a PhD. Her IQ score was higher. The way to view this is: an IQ score on an IQ test is nothing more than testing one's ability to take that kind of test. Many of the high IQ self-promoters take these tests over and over to the extent they have seen all or most all of the questions. How many of them have invented anything- shown any exceptional creativity like Richard Feynman or Danny Hillis? Not one I am aware of.

      Ha ha. If you've read Feynman's memoirs, you will have noted Feynman's great pride in gaming any "inquisition" that he did not have a direct vested interest in. I am sure that he regarded his "official" 125 score an abysmal failure at scoring exactly 100. The Putnam mattered because it would affect graduate school admissions; IQ scores he would have regarded as rather simplistic mental masturbation.

    • @ddognine
      @ddognine ปีที่แล้ว +6

      It's important to remember that IQ tests are statistical measures and not necessarily quantitative or even very effective in sorting the prodigies from the simply above average (and certainly not precise enough to be statistically significant to one IQ point as in the case of Feynman and his sister).
      For example, if a five year old tests in the 99th percentile on an IQ test, the only thing that can reliably be said about that result (forget the actual IQ that implies) is that they will likely continue to test in the 99th percentile throughout primary and possibly secondary schooling. But that's it. Nothing more or less.

      Really long story short: I started studying Electrical Engineering in college when I was 17 but dropped out after 1.5 years. Then I did a few MIT physics lectures, programming courses, neuroscience, math, etc.
      Here comes the plot twist, I also have a great passion for business and doing money and I find incredible hard to study (physics/math/philosophy) at the same time of trying to make money, I find them contradictory.
      So I decided to first make a lot of money and then go to learn physics and advocate my 100% time to my research and don’t depend on money of someone else.
      I am currently 24 years old and I think I will achieve financial independence in about 5 years.
      Could you share a bit of how your path of older learner was? Maybe a few tips or your general thoughts on my current path? I will extremely appreciate the view of a much wiser person into my life.

    Sorry if it’s already been mentioned but he also read a book called Calculus Made Easy by S Thompson. His friend Ralph Leighton refers to it in the foreword of the Strange Theory of Light and Matter. Unfortunately for me he didn’t say the name or the title but said it began with ‘What one fool can do, anyone can’ and I then searched for this a year (this was pre-Google). I found it eventually by opening books at random in libraries and it helped me understand calculus very well (although it’s not perfect).

    I like your math book reviews. I still have my college trig book. Though I was a liberal arts major, I was able to challenge my college algebra courses and wanted to take trig because I loved the way trig is applied. Though I had never taken college calculus, I was able to tutor students in it--by phone, because they shared the textbook used in my college and took calculus from my Trig teacher.
    My trig teacher did not assign homework. He said he respected us in college as adults, and as such, we could choose which problems to study and he suggested we'd keep a journal so if we got stuck on a problem, he could help.
    We had two semi-finals and two finals, and I got perfect grades on all four of them. My teacher handed them back to me, with red ribbons, embarrassing me in front of the students, some of which I went to grammar school with. I majored in liberal arts with the goal of teaching one day, and even in the early 80's when work was hard to find out of college, I found work in '81 and worked non-stop until early retirement in '15, just teaching sometimes since.
    Trig identities just came natural to me--like Good Will Hunting, I could 'just play'.
    Calculus came natural to me, as did Chemistry for College Majors, because I found balancing chem equations easier than algebra, because again like trig it was applied mathematics.
    Years later I wrote a program called Spirapaint!, still used today and found on a few websites. I wrote it as a free tool, like the old Spirograph toy, that could be used to teach high school students or even grammar school students how trig and calculus can be combined to make amazing patterns via a computer. It's fifteen years old, and there are also online websites that have similar tools.
    While writing it I wanted to use some special algorithms and I contacted an MIT and also a Stanford professor for their suggestions, since my program creates patterns the old toy cannot and no website can. I used Visual Basic to write it, and though I am a systems and part time school professor, my colleagues at the last software company I worked for played with it during their lunch breaks, since they worked on a CAD program used in retail store.
    Richard's work is that of a mega-genius. 🏆

    I got “Calculus for the Practical Man”(sorry, as an e-book, so no appreciable smell on my Kindle reader) but had this warning that it used a method of rates instead of limits which can not be profitably used for college students, so did not think it would be worth reading for college students. Is that a correct way of considering the book? Following is the quote in full from the preface to give context:
    “One of the outstanding features of the book is the use of the method of rates instead of the method of limits. To the conventional teacher of mathematics, whose students work for a college degree and look toward the modern theory of functions, the author hastens to say that for their purposes the limit method is the only method which can profitably be used. To the readers contemplated in the preparation of this book, however, the notion of a limit and any method of calculation based upon it always seem artificial and not in any way connected with the familiar ideas of numbers, algebraic symbolism or natural phenomena. On the other hand, the method of rates seems a direct application of the principle which such a reader has often heard mentioned as the extension of arithmetic and algebra with which he must become acquainted before he can perfonn calculations which involve changing quantities.”

    I personally have never bought into the ideas that some people have that the IQ test was somehow wrong for Feynman. People's insistence that his IQ must have been exceptionally high sets problematic expectations for aspiring physicists, suggesting that inherent intellect is a necessity for being a successful physicist.
    What is certain is that Feynman was a more diligent student than the vast majority of us, and he relentlessly pursued understanding when he didn't already have it. At a relatively young age, he was trying to learn more than what he was learning at school. He was undoubtedly more intellectually gifted than the average person, but from the horse's mouth we have it that he wasn't a slouch when it came to studying. People must stop pretending that inborn intellect is the determining factor in success in physics, or math, or anything else.

There's a new paper where they used fMRI to map abstraction levels/regions to cerebral space.

    I remember dimly that, according to Feynman, he got from Woods Calculus the most valuable piece of his mathematical toolbox. And it was integration (or was it differentiation?) under the integral sign. Can you comment as to whether these themes are covered in modern textbooks? He claimed that other calculus books did not cover this at his time.

    It's interesting how the titles exclude practical women. It implies either that women are not practical, or that a practical woman is not interested in mathematics. It is true that it's hard to think of an outstanding female mathematician. Maths challenges boxing as the most male field.

    OMG I love Feynman! He's always been a major role model for me as a young physics student. He had a knack for thinking about concepts and phenomena in a different way. His path integral formalism of quantum mechanics is beautiful!
    One remark on his IQ test. In my opinion, I think tests were scaled differently back then. And if we were to compare him to the standards of intelligence today, he would be equivalent to someone like Edward Witten, who a giant in physics, and better than Stephen Hawking (in my opinion). He was a genius.

    To the victor go the spoils. Hunzicker is right. If Feynman was from India he would not be considered “the” greatest. While Feynman is up there, he just used what many already laid out for him. For starters any who are in the 1929 Solvey picture (unequaled group to this day) would qualify, to be the greatest. Take madam Curie for example who won 2 Noble prizes. While the manhattan project was a leap in technology, most of the physics at that time was already understood. It was more of a material science problem. Also, the standard model (Feynman) will probably not hold up as it makes many assumptions that are inaccurate.

    IQ truthers: Please stop. Try listening to Feynman. Feynman's unprecedented skill was being home taught and insatiably curious around formally trained people. All the Ivy League people would do their Ivy League math on a problem. Feynman would: A) Try a technique he learned from a dusty old library book, which works on a different class of problems, or B) Ask someone to explain the problem until he could visualize it in simple terms, and thus produce a "simple" solution (even if he didn't know how to do the math, at least people would better understand where it went wrong, so Feynman seemed like a genius).
    Of course Feynman was bright. Of course the IQ tests of the era were not great at capturing his kind of brilliance. But that misses the point.
    When Feynman was at Los Alamos, and his superiors refused to tell him confidential information, he'd seem like a supernatural genius and figure it out anyway. But then you learn, maybe the military had people store classified papers in a safe with a 3-digit combination lock. And the commander would use his kid's birthday for the lock, because the military didn't always enforce hygiene on passwords back then. And the commander would loudly announced it was his son's birthday. Feynman would memorize those digits. And he'd ask how old the kid was, obtaining the year. And he'd sneak into the commander's office after hours...
    Feynman wasn't the brightest guy of his era (I'm sure even he credited Von Neumann). But he might have been one of the most dedicated, adventurous, curious, and risk-taking people of his era. And that's what they needed. Even if they didn't know they needed it. (Says Feynman: If I can figure out that password, imagine what a Russian could do!)

  • @Sparky1_1

    I consider Richard Feynman a Genius even if his IQ was 125. IQ means nothing in front of a person's curiosity. He invented a method to teach himself and imagine things, that's the most inspiring about Feynman. He inspires me to study Math and Physics. He deserved the Nobel Prize. Either way He was a Genius
