Mikael C. Rechtsman
Associate Professor of Physics
Book Title
Introduction to Mechanics
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.
