Abstract
ANYONE who opens this admirable book expecting to find in it a discussion of the quantum theory will be completely disappointed. After some fifteen introductory pages the quantum theory is practically never mentioned. But such a reader's disappointment will be his own fault. There is still no proper introduction to the quantum theory other than a thoroughgoing study of classical mechanics and electrodynamics. This book contains a really excellent account of these subjects, aimed, as the authors say, at subsequent study of the quantum theory.
