Maxwell's equations had both the integral AND vector/differential forms were given this book doesn't go over the differential f This was a decent book, but not great. concise descriptions, math in the text, etc.) Wasted space, and distracting! 2.) I wished that e.g. This book had too many pictures it had many small diagrams and "active figures" surrounded by description, but few large diagrams with e.g. My main issues with it were: 1.) I prefer more concise, math-first presentations for physics. And don't expect hardcore advanced differential forms of equation in the text. NOTE : It contains Newtonian Mechanics, Waves & Oscillations, Thermodynamics, Light & Optics, Electricity & Magnetism. He starts with the qualitative discussions and then come to the use of mathematics, to convey difficult ideas easily and effortlessly, which make topics easy to understand, and at the same time make reading very enjoyable. The approach taken by the author is really admirable. It's actually a basic text, and uses only basic calculus to formulate and convey the theories. It deals with all the basic and elementary theories of physics, which one needs to know, if one wants to move towards more advanced theories. He starts with the qualitative discussions and then come to the use of mathematics, to convey It was this book that kindled the fire in me - to learn physics passionately.
