★★★★★

Contacts and Constraints offers a compelling take on Physics Simulation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Real‑Time Physics is excellent, I found the sections on Computer Graphics less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Physics Simulation that aren't always fully supported. That said, the book's strengths in discussing Real‑Time Systems more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Numerical Methods will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Real‑Time Systems, if not the definitive work.

I absolutely loved Contacts and Constraints! It completely changed my perspective on Physics Simulation. At first I wasn't sure about Numerical Methods, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Computational Mechanics is so clear and relatable - it's like they're talking directly to you. I've already recommended this to all my friends who are interested in Computer Graphics. What I appreciated most was how the book made Numerical Methods feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
