Mikael C. Rechtsman

Associate Professor of Physics
Book Title
Introduction to Mechanics
Author
Daniel Kleppner and Robert Kolenkow
Book Description
This is the first book that got me excited about physics from a rigorous quantitative (rather than a popular science) perspective. I loved that it took nothing for granted and derived everything from scratch in unique ways. It made a young and impressionable student feel that you could quantify anything that you thought carefully enough about.
