I am a musician, a classical guitarist,and have always had an interest in science. I have recently become obsessed with physics, but have always been weak in math. This book, (and author), obviously had the pedagogical acumen to see this need in the public, and has addressed it. In fact, I got it from the library, and am here looking for it, becuase I realize I need to own it, and read it over and over. I plan on strenghtening my mathmatical weakness, but until I do, this book is giving me an increased understanding of classical physics, with a minimum of math, and a focus on illustrative examples to convey concepts. I am using these new understanding in my approach to playing, as a matter of fact. I only wish it wasn't $59.95. That is a bit of a surprise. But worth it.
