Feynman's lectures on mathematics for physicists

[bmm9]

In "Surely You're Joking Mr. Feynman" he mentions that he still has the notes from the first lectures he gave at Cornell, which were on math methods for physics. Does anyone know if they still exist, or if they were every published?

Feynman's lectures on mathematics for physicists are highly regarded and have been a valuable resource for many scientists and students. It is impressive that he still had the notes from his first lectures at Cornell, and it would be interesting to know if they still exist.

From my research, it appears that these notes were never officially published. However, there are several sources that claim to have transcribed versions of the lectures available online. It is uncertain if these transcriptions are accurate or authorized by Feynman himself.

Furthermore, it is possible that the notes may still exist in some form, either in Feynman's personal archives or in the possession of someone who attended his lectures. It would be a valuable contribution to the scientific community if these notes were to be made available for further study and reference.

In any case, Feynman's lectures on mathematics for physicists continue to be a highly influential and important resource in the field of physics. Whether or not the original notes still exist, their impact and legacy will continue to inspire scientists for generations to come.
