The Evolution of Physics was completed by A.Einstein and Infield in 1930s, and published by Cambridge University Press at 1938. 1962 This book was translated and introduced to China by Zhou Zhaowei and published by Shanghai Science and Technology Publishing House. This book seems to have some uniqueness. It is not a simple history of physics, nor a popular physics textbook. Although you will think that it may have these two functions, and it has done well in both aspects. As a book on the history of physics, the narrative is incisive and the clues are clear. As a popular reading of physics, it never involves complicated mathematical formulas and is easy to understand. Generally speaking, this book introduces the evolution process from Galileo and Newton's classical mechanical system to modern field theory, relativity theory and quantum theory, and selects several key points to clarify this change and guide readers to think about the changes in philosophical thoughts and concepts behind the changing phenomenon. As mentioned in the preface, this book is not a historical record, because it is almost impossible to find specific historical figures and time in it, but focuses on the historical evolution of physics ideas and concepts, as mentioned in the original preface: "Our purpose is to describe with thick lines how human intelligence seeks the connection between the conceptual world and the phenomenal world." Feynman lecture on physics is a lecture given by American physicist Feynman to American freshmen and sophomores. Finally, it was compiled into a set of tutorials by later generations, namely "Feynman Physics Lectures". From the content point of view, it is the most basic general physical content. The so-called general physics is because many laws and rules are based on experiments, reasoning and summary. Therefore, his requirements are not very high, and his mathematics requirements are not high. As long as undergraduates have studied advanced mathematics, they can read it. The book is very clear in thinking, easy to understand in content and clear and simple in mathematical treatment. Therefore, it is a foreign masterpiece for studying general physics and basic physics. Although the two are not comparable, Feynman Lecture Notes on Physics covers a wide range of knowledge and requires some professional physical knowledge. So it is more difficult to learn than the evolution theory of physics.
