Humanity has generated too much information for me to absorb. I'll never be
able to learn it all. There, I finally admitted it.

Same here :-( I would need a 1000 years to learn all the things and work on
all the projects I would like to. Since I only have 50 years or so left (if I
am lucky) on this 3rd rock from the Sun, I will have to choose the top 2% of
cool things on my long list and stick to those...

I've a print copy of this, the content is quite good but rather marred by the
annoying typsetting everything is all jammed in right up to the marigns
(something which is sadly true across this whole series of great books).

The problems however are absolutely fantastic, a great mix of computational
and theoretical which go from half an hours fun to really unanswered problems.
Fun fun fun! I highly recommend trying them and referring to the text as
needed.

Ehh, memories… I have yet to finish that book.

Dirac said, _“follow mathematical idea wherever it leads”_. When I first
opened ths book years ago, unpublished draft then, I just skimmed the ToC,
checked a few problems and then to my horror encountered that interesting
approach to restricted three–body problem (nicely wrapped as the “Jupiter”
problem in the book). I was horrified because I had a lead on that too… and
there – it's all in textbooks. That situation allowed no relaxed wackiness in
my thinking about it anymore, I had to formulate my thoughts. ‘I need more
math’, I thought. When I finally digged out of that rabbit hole I found myself
learned in dynamical systems,
