In Praise of Simple Physics: The Science and Mathematics Behind Everyday Questions Paperback - 2017
by Paul Nahin
From the rear cover
"In Praise of Simple Physics offers a masterful look at how basic principles, combined with clever thinking and fundamental mathematics, lead to satisfying explanations of an extraordinary range of natural phenomena, from the path of a football to why the sky is dark at night. Nahin's humor and accessible examples shine. Celebrate your curiosity and delve into this magnificent book!"--Paul Halpern, author of Einstein's Dice and Schrdinger's Cat
"In Praise of Simple Physics is a must-read for anyone curious about how physics shows up in everyday life. Paul Nahin's clear explanations demystify the mathematics behind the physics, and with over two dozen applications, his book is a great introduction to mathematical modeling as well."--Oscar Fernandez, author of Everyday Calculus
"This is a superb book--thoughtful, historical, carefully done, and intensely clever. It was a joy to read."--Christopher G. Tully, Princeton University
"Many books that explore classical physics problems tend to be relentlessly sequential and completely humorless. In this book, Paul Nahin shows a lighter touch and he gives himself the necessary space to tell the mathematical story. The book encourages readers to engage with the less-than-obvious aspects of physics."--Jens Zorn, professor emeritus of physics, University of Michigan
