As a scholar in Physics Simulation, I found Contacts and Constraints to be an exceptional contribution to the field. The author's approach to Dynamics Modeling is both innovative and rigorous, providing fresh insights that challenge conventional wisdom. Particularly noteworthy is the discussion of Real‑Time Physics, which offers a compelling framework for understanding Computational Mechanics. While some may argue that Collision Detection, the evidence presented is thorough and convincing. This book is essential reading for anyone serious about Physics Simulation.

While Contacts and Constraints makes several valuable points about Dynamics Modeling, I found some aspects problematic. The author's treatment of Real‑Time Physics seems oversimplified, particularly when compared to Contact Resolution. That said, the sections on Simulation Systems are genuinely insightful and make the book worth reading despite its flaws. With some refinement in Game Engines, this could be a truly outstanding work.
