I'd love to see a table of contents, as it'd make it much easier to judge the breadth of the subject matter.
One concern I have is I didn't see much that looked like discrete/finite math. That compounds the mistake made by too many math curriculums. In particular, statistics and probabilities rule our world these days (and seem destined to do so only more in the future), yet so many people never even get a basic education in them.

There is a second tome in the works that will cover optics, waves, E&M, and vector calculus.
- cbsmith 12y agoAh, so this is focused on Physics. Can't look a gift horse in the mouth, but I'm not sure of the intended use case for such a guide. Normally you need a pretty formal foundation in Physics to get much value from it, which is why I hopped on the discrete math picture (lots of people do programming without any need for a formal math education).
