I absolutely loved Contacts and Constraints! It completely changed my perspective on Physics Simulation. At first I wasn't sure about Real‑Time Systems, 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 Real‑Time Physics. What I appreciated most was how the book made Constraint Solvers 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 Contact Resolution is excellent, I found the sections on Game Engines less convincing. The author makes some bold claims about Numerical Methods 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 Game Development, if not the definitive work.
