I have enjoyed your explanations.
How in the heck do you know all of this? Has your professional work
caused you to need to learn all of this, or are you a physicist that
loves to study this? I have always wanted to learn more about the tides
but have never found the appropriate book. All seem either too
simplistic
or way over my head. (I'm a math major with a decent amount of physics
under my belt.)
Do you have any recommendations for further reading for someone with my
level of understanding?
