Title: Not as advertised
Product review: I re-learned calculus for this book (and others), but 90% of the math - and the book is all math - is much more advanced than calculus.I believe the book would be very valuable to someone with an advanced degree in math, recent enough to still retain the details, and who has no prior background in physics, but who is interested in it. Penrose cannot or does not have the ability to 'teach' the math, either - he calls some functions "uncomfortable" or a function "doesn't seem honest", etc shop-talk for people who know this stuff inside/out already. But if you're an advanced mathematician, this is the introductory physics text for you.
