It also talks about how magnetism is always present throughout the universe and about how it affects matter. Overall I'd say 4/5 for both a beginner and someone who already knows the material covered.moreįeynman really focuses on magnetism and how matter has its own magnetic field, and electricity. Therefore I believe it works better for the actual intended audience than the first one, but it doesn't loose it's unique touch.Ī problem that continues is the fact that some of his notation/ideas are outdated, for example, he does not distinguish between covariant and contravariant indices, and also states that some issues with magnetic materials are unresolved when in fact we do know the answer to that now.
And the core chapters use more standard methods that makes everything clearer to the beginner.
The more original chapters were in fact on extra material like electricity in atmosphere, the principle of least action, or curved spacetime, which are the ones that a deep understanding is less relevant, and originality make them much more interesting. However, this book is more balanced in my opinion. Once again it presents the material in a rather original fashion, which makes it more interesting for who already knows what is going on and more confusing for a beginner.
