Genius
By James Gleick
This book is about the life of Richard Feynman. He was a very intelligent physicist who earned a Nobel Prize in Physics in 1965. The book starts out talking about his childhood, then quickly transitions into talking about his college education. Feynman attended MIT and Princeton. While he was attending MIT, he took every physics course available and excelled in them. He did, however, receive less than average scores in his History and Language Arts classes. Feynman also developed much simpler equations to calculate complex data.
I really like this book so far (I’ve only read about 200 pages out of 438). It is a very interesting book and I have learned a lot of interesting facts from it. I find this book slightly difficult to read, but not too hard. I would highly recommend this book to anybody interested in science, although the first 50 some odd pages are a tad dry in my opinion. On the hand, the rest of the book is rather interesting.
