DESCRIPTION: over 100 fully-solved examples step-by-step solutions with explanations standard problems from trig-based physics includes tables of equations, symbols, and units This volume covers motion, including uniform acceleration, vector addition, projectile motion, Newton's laws, conservation of energy, work, collisions, rotation, center of mass, moment of inertia, satellites, and more. (Vol. 2 covers electricity and magnetism, while Vol. 3 covers waves, fluids, heat, sound, and light. Vol.'s 2-3 will be released in the spring of 2017.) AUTHOR: The author, Dr. Chris McMullen, has over 20 years of experience teaching university physics in California, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, and Louisiana (and has also taught physics to gifted high school students). Dr. McMullen currently teaches physics at Northwestern State University of Louisiana. He has also published a half-dozen papers on the collider phenomenology of superstring-inspired large extra dimensions. Chris McMullen earned his Ph.D. in particle physics from Oklahoma State University (and his M.S. in physics from California State University, Northridge). Dr. McMullen is well-known for: engaging physics students in challenging ideas through creativity breaking difficult problems down into manageable steps providing clear and convincing explanations to subtle issues his mastery of physics and strong background in mathematics helping students become more fluent in practical math skills MATH REVIEW: Separate chapters cover essential algebra, geometry, and trigonometry skills. USES: This physics book serves two functions: It provides a variety of examples for how to solve fundamental physics problems. It's also the solutions manual to Essential Trig-based Physics Study Guide Workbook, ISBN 978-1-941691-14-4.

"Spherical trigonometry was at the heart of astronomy and ocean-going navigation for two millennia. The discipline was a mainstay of mathematics education for centuries, and it was a standard subject in high schools until the 1950s. Today, however, it is rarely taught. Heavenly Mathematics traces the rich history of this forgotten art, revealing how the cultures of classical Greece, medieval Islam, and the modern West used spherical trigonometry to chart the heavens and the Earth."--Jacket.

Objective: This book, Super Physics for Super Technologies, proposes that a new physics exists. The findings are based on 16 years of extensive numerical modeling with empirical data, and therefore, both testable and irrefutable. The Need: In 2012 Prof. Nemiroff, using Hubble photographs, showed that quantum foam cannot exists. In 2013, Solomon showed that both exotic matter and strings could not exists. In 2015 the Kavli Foundation, with Prof. Efstathiou, Prof. Pryke, Prof. Steinharrd discussed the issues with the Planck Space Telescope findings of a Universe that is significantly simpler than our theories. Therefore the need for new physics. The Benefits: The replacement of the Schrodinger wave function with a simpler probabilistic wave function, results in a new electron shell model based on the Rydberg equation, giving exact results with quantum mechanics; leading to a new Standard Model and the unification of photon shielding, transmission and invisibility as the same phenomenon. Solomon's inference is that any current or future stealth technology can be neutralized. "Benjamin is the second researcher I have met who has tried to consider a non singular cosmology. The first was Christi Stoica, which I met in 2010." Andrew Beckwith PhD

"Why Do We Have to Go to School?" is a 10,000 word fictional dialogue between a young man and his father. A fascinating debate evolves after the son asks, "Dad, why do we have to go to school?" This lively and captivating conversation serves as a thought-provoking discussion on the current status of educational policy and practice - specifically, regarding the use and role of technology in the classroom. It is beautifully decorated with related icons and word blocks. This artistic touch shows how books have evolved with technology, which closely parallels one of the themes from the dialogue. The images appear in color in the e-book edition and in black-and-white in the paperback edition. SON: Dad, why do we have to go to school? FATHER: Son, you need to learn valuable skills, like the three R's. SON: What's the third R? I can think of A-R-E, as in, "Are you going to let me stay home?" and O-U-R, as in, "Our time is being wasted in school." FATHER: No, Son, you misunderstood. The three R's are reading, writing, and arithmetic. SON: Why do they call them the three R's? Two of those words don't even begin with an R. FATHER: Well, they do have an R in common. What would you call them? SON: War! FATHER: Now, Son, there's no reason to become so violent about it. SON: But, Dad, hear me out. W.A.R. stands for Writing, Arithmetic, and Reading.
