    DON'T BUY THE KINDLE VERSION, IT IS A DUMPSTER FIRE.
  

*by S***T on Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2017*

Beautiful book. Worst typesetting I have seen in a kindle book in a long time, and I am reading it on my computer after thinking it was just my device. The equations are clip art (you can see the tops or bottoms of text below it) because the typesetters can't use latex. Excuseable, but the worst part is the inline equations have  this  much  space  between each letter. Returning it half way read so I can buy a paper copy. Sad!

    One of a kind
  

*by M***T on Reviewed in the United States on February 21, 2017*

This "The Theoretical Minimum" series is one of a kind.  It bills itself as text book for the self learner.  Unlike a dumbed down popular science book this is the real deal - seeks to explain the world via mathematics, in the same manner a physicist does.  But unlike a text book it doesn't teach by repetition and exercises.  Nor does it assume you have taken the appropriate pre-requisite maths course.Instead it takes you step by step through the whole through whole box and dice.  Don't know calculus or maybe you've forgotten your trig identities? Don't worry - it's covered in the just enough depth to understand what follows.  It's done without jargon and in a very readable tone, with the more difficult topics covered from several angles so you have a hope of gaining the insight needed from one of them.  And it's done with the insight and understand of a man who is not only of the the leading experts in his field, he's also been teaching it for years.  Given the topic it isn't easy going.  Trying to get my head around things that weren't covered in high school physics when I did it is a struggle - like why the Lagrangian could possibly work.  But it is possible, and with the pleasant tone of the book even pleasant.In this day and age where one could potentially teach yourself in our newly connected world, this is the only series of books I've come across that delivers on the promise.  For now it is one of a kind.  Now Susskind has shown how it is done I hope we will see more.

    Terrible Typesetting
  

*by R***N on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2017*

The rating above does not apply to the content of the book but rather to the presentation.  The substance so far is very good but I'm not sure that whoever is responsible for the digital edition of this book actually bothered to review it before posting it for sale.  Regardless of whether the reader is using an iPad, a Kindle, or a computer to read this volume they will require a magnifying glass to read the formulae as the font appears to be either 5 or 6 point size. The typesetting generally leaves much to be desired with large gaps in the text spacing that exist for no fathomable reason.  After almost 1000 purchases I have never returned a digital book to Amazon but am seriously considering it with this one.The publisher - Basic Books - should be panned for this effort. Amusingly, the back of the title page states that the book was typeset using Mathematica.  I have Mathematica and I've never seen the application produce such poor renditions of formulae.  If there was an option to acquire the volume in an nb file format (Mathematica's notebook format) at least I could read it on my computer!
