the chapter really is idiotic. I keep proofreading it without meaning to--as in, Physics has a reputation of being difficult. Um. AFAIK, it would be correct to say, "Physics has the reputation of being difficult," or "Physics has a reputation for being difficult," but as it is it's just bad writing. I think. Also, "Physics uses mathematics as a powerful language"? WTF? What kind of idiotic sentiment is that?
