Ah, but do you have your copy of Halliday and Resnick at hand? I do.
Well, not while I'm actually skiing, but nearby. Next to the Handbook of
Chemistry and Physics.

But of course, right between Thomas/Finney and Lorrain/Corson. My copy
of the Handbook of Chemistry and Physics got stolen many years ago and
I've never replaced it. And someday I plan to get the other two volumes
of Feynman....
