Cool book for an engineering major
Cool book for an aspiring astronautical engineer. Most of the math is over my head at this point but it gave me some inspiration in my math courses because it has examples of a lot of the concepts that we are learning, but in a context that is less abstract than is covered in school. Basically it showed me why I care to learn the math by explaining how it is applied to astronautical problems. Cool book to have.

For the right audience it's a good book, for most of the rest of us either obtuse or too basic
If high school kids can get through this they are way more accomplished than I was at that age. This would be for the hardcore and rare teenager that loves math and space and is already at AP level. For me, I got as a basic review for some of my rusty skills for a new job role and for that it was too basic, but fun to revisit some stuff. Dated of course, with the shuttle focus but it's so rare to find math problems that use space as primary examples that I'm sure that can be forgiven. This would be something I might give to a high school senior to work over the summer right before they attend college, help them get in the zone if they are entering into a physics or engineering curriculum. Not sure anyone else would get anything out of it.

for math, physics, engineering hobbist
HS students who like math, physics, engineering , good assortment of problems you get in these careers. good background. although many problems difficult they are clearly explained, illustrated. HS students and freshman college students could study these problems, methods of solution so that when they encounter a very difficult problem on an exam and are stopped, they will think, "wait a minute, i've seen a part of this before".

Great resource!
Wonderful collection of problems and examples, suitable for students from high school through early undergraduate. I've reworked several of the FORTRAN programs into Python to use with a Computational Physics class...

My Son Loves It
My son loves this book. He studied it in his summary break between 8th grade and 9th grade. He is a bit of a math nerd, it still took him about 6 weeks to complete this book.
