Title: Not a book for those without moderate understanding of physics
Review: I've just started going through this book and so far I'm a little disappointed. I feel Newtonian mechanics are introduced in an unnecessarily confusing way and the author makes certain assumptions that compound this confusion. For example, the author assumes that mass of any particle is 1 throughout chapter 1 and 2. Therefore, when he defines the kinetic energy of an object, it is defined as (v^2)/2. I feel that so someone unfamiliar with basic physics, which could easily be the case for graduate mathematicians reading this book, that this is completely misleading at best. I would recommend that you only purchase this book if you already have a strong background in physics and are looking increase your understanding of the mathematics behind it.
