- “The showing was succesful. ...[T]he project went on to produce ...52 television programs and 3 volumes of textbooks, plus teacher's manuals, study guides... [etc.]... designed for... college level courses... [plus] complete... videos and print materials for... high schools. The program... cost nearly $10 million.”

The Mechanical Universe follows in that tradition...”
- “The Mechanical Universe project had its roots in a routine revision of Caltech's introductory physics courses... assigned to Goldstein and begun in 1979... the first major changes... since... taught by Richard Feynman in the early 1960s.”
- “[T]he full series of 52 programs was first broadcast during the academic year 1986-1987...”
