[John · Rating 3 out of 5]

I have to say that I liked volume one better. Oh sure, all of your favorite characters, like mass and gravitation, velocity, acceleration and angular momentum show up in this volume, but they are rather overshadowed by some young upstarts like electric field and capacitance. The romance between electricity and magnetism is enough to spark a little interest, but I'm afraid it is headed towards a shocking conclusion.

good book

I learned that it costs 36 dollars to provide Electricity to a major metropolitan city. This is shown in the chapter of Alternating Current.
I've always enjoyed the joke where the mechanic says that I got my particles and waves mixed up.
Overall this book should be used for high school students, the calculus is rather elementary, and the proofs are straightforward.
