Editorial Reviews

Review

"Beautifully clear explanations of famously 'difficult things.'"―John Gribbin, Wall Street Journal

"What a wonderful and unique resource. For anyone who is determined to learn physics for real, looking beyond conventional popularizations, this is the ideal place to start."―
Sean Carroll, New York Times-bestselling author of Something Deeply Hidden

"A spectacular effort to make the real stuff of theoretical physics accessible to amateurs."―
Tom Siegfried, Science News

"Very readable. Abstract concepts are well explained.... [
The Theoretical Minimum] does provide a clear description of advanced classical physics concepts, and gives readers who want a challenge the opportunity to exercise their brain in new ways."―Lowry Kirkby, Physics World

"Readers ready to embrace their inner applied mathematics will enjoy this brisk, bare-bares introduction to classical mechanics."―
Publishers Weekly

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid on Kindle due to very poor legibility of figures (diagrams) and equations

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid on Kindle due to very poor legibility of figures (diagrams) and equations
Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on January 11, 2019
I have better than 20:20 vision in both eyes but cannot, without an annoying level of effort, read most of the labels on the diagrams (figures) nor the terms or operators of the equations. Scaling up the text size using the Kindle makes no difference. Further (at least on the iPhone and iPad) the figures and equations are not embedded as images which can be opened separately. There is, therefore, no way of increasing their size. Given the fundamental importance to understanding what is said in the book of being able to read the equations and understand the diagrams, this greatly reduces the point of purchasing this book on Kindle.
