Every concept is consistent throughout the whole book. For example they introduce momentum simultaneously with relativity. They let you know classical physics is just appropriation in the first chapter. They introduce p=mv before f=ma. Which shows that this is not just another copycat book.

I went in deep after discovering this playlist on the theory of litterature, doing the recommended reading and thoroughly enjoying the journey. Had to drop it midway or some years back but I really do want to get back to this topic. Maybe now is the time!<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLD00D35CBC75941BD">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;youtube.com&#x2F;playlist?list=PLD00D35CBC75941BD</a>

The CS50x Memory Lecture <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NKTfNv2T0FE">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.youtube.com&#x2F;watch?v=NKTfNv2T0FE</a><p>David Malan is an incredible teacher but the way he describes the whole concept of memory in C especially pointers are on a next level. One of the greatest CS video of all time imo.
