Learn Physics with Functional Programming

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

A book is never a solo endeavor, and I am grateful to have the opportunity to thank some of the many people who helped me write this book and helped me become the person who could write this book.

I thank Beall Fowler for teaching me physics, Lester Rubenfeld for showing me what mathematics could really be, and Gerald Sussman for conversations about physics and functional programming. I thank Scott Pilzer for being my friend and conversation partner about the most interesting parts of physics.

Lebanon Valley College supported me by granting a sabbatical leave to work on this book.

I thank my colleagues David Lyons, Mike Day, Barry Hurst, Keith Veenhuizen, and Dan Pitonyak for interesting discussions on a number of issues addressed ...
