FEYNMAN'S UNDERGRADUATE INTRODUCTION TO THEORETICAL PHYSICS TEXTBOOK, SIGNED BY HIM AND WITH A HANDFU🍃L OF NOTES IN THE MARGINS

"When I was an undergraduate at MIT I loved it. I thought it was a great place, and I wanted to go to graduate school there too, of course. But when I went to Professor Slater and told him of my intentions, he said, "We won't let you in here."

(Richard P. Feynman, "Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman!", p. 71.)

Co-Written by Feynman's MIT thesis a๊dvisor Dr. John C. Slater, this book was used by Feynman during his studies.

Feynman began the work for which he would win the Nobel while an undeꩵrgraduate at MIT, m🌟aking this book a unique snapshot from the start of Feynman's career studying a field in which he would later find international acclaim.

As referenced in the above excerpt from "Surely You're Joking...," Feynman loved his tim𝓡e at MIT but was encouraged by Dr. Slater to broaden his horizons and pursue his PhD elsewhere.
