Title: A real disappointment
Product review: I teach relativity to roughly the same audience that Jagerman istrying to reach, and I would NOT want my students near this book. Itis full of conceptual errors; the whopper on page 5 is just thebeginning. As another reviewer says of page 5, "the end result iscorrect but the reasoning is incorrect." I would add that the type offaulty reasoning employed there will get students very much on thewrong track from the very beginning; I don't see how they can build further understanding on this flawed foundation.)Jagerman has his heart in the right place. I've been trying to findbooks which bridge the gap between overly conceptual books for massconsumption on the one hand, and books for upper-division physicsmajors on the other hand. So when I read Jagerman's statement aboutwhy he wrote the book, I ordered it immediately. But it is a realdisappointment.
