Richard Feynman was one of the great physicists of the 20th century, and an incredible teacher. He won the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the development of quantum electrodynamics.
I learned about Feynman in the 1980s when I was studying physics, and spent many a night watching films of his famous lectures at Caltech. To this day, he has inspired me to persevere in my love for science and math, while appreciating that science and math do not derogate the arts and humanities. To the contrary, math and science only add to the beauty, mystery, and appreciation of the world – art and science are complementary.
