★★★★☆

Contacts and Constraints offers a compelling take on Physics Simulation, though not without flaws. While the treatment of Numerical Methods is excellent, I found the sections on Constraint Solvers 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 Real‑Time Systems more than compensate for any weaknesses. Readers looking for Game Engines will find much to appreciate here, even if not every argument lands perfectly. Overall, a valuable addition to the literature on Numerical Stability, 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 Simulation Systems, 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 Real‑Time Systems. What I appreciated most was how the book made Numerical Methods feel so accessible. I'll definitely be rereading this one - there's so much to take in!
