Hi all,

I've been a lurker on this forum for some time now reading random posts now and then. I've always had an interest in learning more about Physics. I majored in CS a few years ago.

I've been fascinated by Einstein's ideas since I was a child and so, went ahead and bought Hartle's text on Gravity. I'm finding the going rather more difficult than I expected, especially the exercises. Should I drop the idea?

Thanks,
Bhanu
