[Elecraft] A little theory

Having read Feynman's books, I got a big chuckle out of hearing him lecture
for the first time. With his strong New York accent, he reminded me of the
guy who makes great sandwiches at the local deli. And his sense of humor was
such that he'd probably get a big laugh out of that comparison.
Here's 5 minutes of clips of a very passionate Feynman lecturing on Algebra!

His dedication to teaching at all levels makes him a genuine hero in my
book.

I did meet him. The first thing he said to me was, "Call me Dick", as he
wasn't much for titles. When he was scheduled to give a lecture to the
freshman class at Caltech we were told to arrive early because the
upper-classmen would fill up the lecture hall. In addition to his work in
theoretical physics, he was a master of the bongo drums. A
somewhat-fictionalized film of Feynman's time at Los Alamos is "Infinity"
starring Matthew Broderick.
