Response to: Wow! Just what was needed

I discovered the title while I was taking a break at work and came to oreilly.com looking for an Excel book.


I d/l chapter 9, Solving Equations and then I d/l the excel files and all-in-all, I was astonished at the quality of information I was looking at... immediately ordered the book.


Am now considering buying Bourg's other book, "Physics for Game Developers," simply for the reason that the chapter I d/l on at the book link was a chapter concerning projectile motion which was cool, but as I was looking through that chapter, I about fell off my chair when I saw his comments concerning the Reynolds Number ... to me, this was too amazing since I use this value every day at work!
