In what way is it not rigorous? I've never read it but it definitely seems interesting to have a "good" but non-rigorous science book. Does it just hand-wave over some things to get to other important topics?


I didn’t think so, but it’s the text I used as an undergrad, so I don’t have a basis for comparison. I just have seen that criticism pop up on HN when this topic has arisen in the past.


It's pretty rigorous, and is perhaps the best EM book to get the intuition. I'm guessing the GP meant challenging in terms of the problem set.
