So much dislike for these! I dug through Apple’s audio book section at some length and purchased Feynman’s overall survey of math, a sort of toss-off in the middle of his physics lecture series, and I love it. It’s just the most profoundly enthusiastic holistic summary of basic mathematics I can imagine packed into a one hour talk. I’m going to listen to it again today. The pleasure of these lectures is getting to spend a little time in Feynman’s head, appreciating the world the way he does, unpacking it the way he does. I don’t think they deserve the side eye - they’re a really unique product of a very unique person, and a culturally valuable thing to have around.
