Michael A. Gottlieb

Michael Gottlieb was a self-employed computer programmer in Silicon Valley for 26 years, before retiring in 2003 to edit and supplement ""The Feynman Lectures on Physics." In 2006, Gottlieb and Ralph Leighton spearheaded the publication of The Feynman Lectures on Physics Definitive Edition, which included the first edition of "Feynman's Tips on Physics, a problem-solving supplement to the Feynman Lectures on Physics." Since 2007 Gottlieb has been a Visitor in Physics at The California Institute of Technology, for whom he manages projects related to The Feynman Lectures, producing print manuscripts, ebook editions, the recently published iBooks textbook "Six Easy Pieces," and the second edition of "Feynman's Tips on Physics." The Basic Books New Millennium Edition and future editions of The Feynman Lectures on Physics, and the forthcoming "Exercises for the Feynman Lectures on Physics," are produced from LaTeX manuscripts Gottlieb and Rudolf Pfeiffer created, maintain and own. Gottlieb lives with his three dogs near a tropical beach in Guanacaste, Costa Rica.
