Associate Professor of Physics
Book Title: Introduction to Mechanics
Author: Daniel Kleppner and Robert Kolenkow
Selection Statement:
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.
