An engaging collection of intriguing problems that shows you how to
think like a mathematical physicist Paul Nahin is a master at
explaining odd phenomena through straightforward mathematics. In
this collection of twenty-six intriguing problems, he explores how
mathematical physicists think. Always entertaining, the problems
range from ancient catapult conundrums to the puzzling physics of a
very peculiar material called NASTYGLASS-and from dodging trucks to
why raindrops fall slower than the rate of gravity. The questions
raised may seem impossible to answer at first and may require an
unexpected twist in reasoning, but sometimes their solutions are
surprisingly simple. Nahin's goal, however, is always to guide
readers-who will need only to have studied advanced high school
math and physics-in expanding their mathematical thinking to make
sense of the curiosities of the physical world. The problems are in
the first part of the book and the solutions are in the second, so
that readers may challenge themselves to solve the questions on
their own before looking at the explanations. The problems show how
mathematics-including algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and
calculus-can be united with physical laws to solve both real and
theoretical problems. Historical anecdotes woven throughout the
book bring alive the circumstances and people involved in some
amazing discoveries and achievements. More than a puzzle book, this
work will immerse you in the delights of scientific history while
honing your math skills.

How gaming intersects with systems like history, bodies, and code
Why do we so compulsively play video games? Might it have something
to do with how gaming affects our emotions? In Playing with
Feelings, scholar Aubrey Anable applies affect theory to game
studies, arguing that video games let us “rehearse†feelings,
states, and emotions that give new tones and textures to our
everyday lives and interactions with digital devices. Rather than
thinking about video games as an escape from reality, Anable
demonstrates how video games—their narratives, aesthetics, and
histories—have been intimately tied to our emotional landscape
since the emergence of digital computers. Looking at a wide variety
of video games—including mobile games, indie games, art games,
and games that have been traditionally neglected by
academia—Anable expands our understanding of the ways in which
these games and game studies can participate in feminist and queer
interventions in digital media culture. She gives a new account of
the touchscreen and intimacy with our mobile devices, asking what
it means to touch and be touched by a game. She also examines how
games played casually throughout the day create meaningful
interludes that give us new ways of relating to work in our lives.
And Anable reflects on how games allow us to feel differently about
what it means to fail. Playing with Feelings offers provocative
arguments for why video games should be seen as the most
significant art form of the twenty-first century and gives the
humanities passionate, incisive, and daring arguments for why games
matter.
