I would encourage anyone interested in maths, physics or engineering to watch The Character of Physical Law, Feynman’s seven-part lecture series recorded at Cornell in 1964. The BBC recorded the seven lectures as part of the Messenger Lectures series.

The lectures covered the following topics:

  1. The law of gravitation, an example of physical law
  2. The relation of mathematics and physics
  3. The great conservation principles
  4. Symmetry in physical law
  5. The distinction of past and future
  6. Probability and uncertainty - the quantum mechanical view of nature
  7. Seeking new laws
