Summary: The worst Physics book I've ever used
Review: The only way I would read this garbage again is if I have a gun pointing at my head. This book is totally useless. I have to admit there aren't too many good "wave" books out there to use so my professor didn't really had much of a choice. I used this book this passed spring semester for my Honors Waves and Thermodynamics class at Cornell University. Since it's an honors class we required a book that has a more theoretical and math-intensive approach to Waves. I guess Georgi's goal was to write a bunch of formulas in a few badly put together pages and sell the as a book. Again what garbage; I had to take so much care of it, because I definitely knew I was going to keep this crap and I wanted to sell it right here on the Amazon Marketplace as soon as I could. Believe me if you have to take a Waves class which forces you to use this so called "book" make sure you also check a real waves book from the library, like I did. I recommend The Berkley Physics Vol. 3 Waves book.

Summary: 5 stars for content, -1 because the soft cover fell apart
Review: This is a great book, as long as you don't read it so much. If you open it too many times, pages start to fall out. Georgi's super mathematical, so it'll help to know linear algebra and diff. eq. Problems are pretty varied, from easy to somewhat hard. Nothing impossible though.
