That curious institution, Caltech. How did a 16 year old kid from Iowa end up there? (See memories of Feynman above.)

Born in St. Louis, Chu attended the University of Rochester where he was inspired by Caltech physicist Richard Feynman. He earned a BA in mathematics and a BS in physics. Chu pursued graduate study at the University of California, Berkeley, ...

and I had to go to Caltech and interview a lot of people who both knew Feynman and understood his work, so I could really understand the physics. ... and more »

His lectures at Caltech, which are still studied today in book form , are considered classics. Recently, I happened to pick up his 1985 memoir Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman for the first time in many years. And I was surprised to see how many of ...
