I’m taking note of the latter and adding it to my list of “books to read when I have time and motivation for independent education.”
The addition of Scheme to the application of mechanics does seem quite useful from what I can tell after a cursory look. And there’s a nice bit more mathematical rigor than I had the luxury of in my physics classes. Overall, it looks like this text takes an approach that I’ll like a lot, once I get to it.
For the record, I’m a physics and mathematics undergrad, graduating next May. My schools physics program recently decided to actually start making us apply that programming they had us learn; I might consider trying Scheme instead of C if I feel like it.
