Not a fan of the sexism, the math was a bit beyond me, I liked the particle and classical treatment of the electron and thought it was impressive how much could be done with a few simple assumptions. The book is very abstract (intentionally) so I could have used more concrete examples but I might have just been over my head here.

Excellent. Great chapters on electromagnetism and relativity.
