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 Physics Simulation 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 Numerical Methods will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Computer Graphics, if not the definitive work.

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