Here’s another too demanding, and I believe similar to Feynman et alii.   It failed because too complete and demanding, IIUC.  

I post it, because one of the authors was my MA thesis advisor.

Eisberg and Lerner.   Physics / Foundations and Applications.  It includes extensive use of numericals using the Leapfrog algorithm.  [Newton-Feynman?]

bc remembers his saying, “A wave is a wave is a wave.”  when commenting on the similarity of Alpha emission and transmission in optical total reflection.
