Produktbeschreibung
A manga cartoon guide that teaches physics using real world examples. One of a series of groundbreaking EduManga titles from No Starch Press.

- Physics is an essential concept in many careers and disciplines
- Authentic manga, translated from Japanese originals
- A fun and useful supplement to any physics course
The Manga Guide to Physics teaches physics in an innovative way by joining real Japanese-style manga with serious and practical instruction. The books story revolves around Megumi, a high school tennis star frustrated by physics class - and the physics of tennis. Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a geeky physics Olympian. After hes persuaded to help Megumi avoid failing physics, Ryota teaches her about Newtons laws of motion, vectors and scalars, and inertia, velocity, and acceleration. As Ryota explains classical mechanics, he uses real-world examples like roller blading, juggling, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis to show the importance (and fun) of physics in daily life. By the end of their lessons, Megumi has mastered even the most difficult physics concepts like momentum and impulse; work and the conservation of energy; the difference between kinetic, potential, and mechanical energy; and parabolic motion. This informative and charming guide also has extended explanations and examples to help readers learn. (This EduManga title is a translation from a bestselling series in Japan, co-published with Ohmsha, Ltd. of Tokyo, Japan.)

Rezensionen
"I found the cartoon approach of this book so compelling and its story so endearing that I recommend that every teacher of introductory physics, in both high school and college, consider using it."
American Journal of Physics

"This is a perfect introduction to four key physics concepts law of action and reaction, force and motion, momentum, and energy especially for fans of anime and manga."
< School Library Journal

"Overall, we found the books absolutely amazing for teaching complex ideas and theories to people of nearly any age."
