Alone this quotation from the preface in Hassani's book tells it all: "If math is the language of nature, physics is its poetry." (quoted from my memory, I don't have the book here, at the moment).

It is said that mathematics is the language of Nature. If so, then physics is its poetry.

Just to break the agreement: Hassani sucks, Arfken Weber is much better. (Just kidding! :biggrin: )

Until a few hours ago it was very hot in Zagreb, but now it is raining and quite humid. :oldgrumpy:

By the way, my brother lives in Frankfurt, so if you see him say hallo to him! :wink:
