I absolutely loved Contacts and Constraints! It completely changed my perspective on Physics Simulation. At first I wasn't sure about Numerical Stability, but by chapter 3 I was completely hooked. The way the author explains Numerical Methods 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 Numerical Methods. What I appreciated most was how the book made Computational Mechanics feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!

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