Preface
It is essential to the understanding of physics to correctly “see” what you wish to examine.
In classical mechanics, in particular, you need to understand how physical laws apply to
transient, moving objects. But unfortunately, conventional textbooks rarely provide adequate
images of such motion.
This book attempts to conquer the limits of those conventional textbooks by using
cartoons. Cartoons are not just simple illustrations—they are an expressive and dynamic
medium that can represent the flow of time. By using cartoons, it is possible to vividly
express changes in motion. Cartoons can also transform seemingly dry laws and unreal
scenarios into things that are familiar, friendly, and easy to understand. And it goes without
saying—cartoons ...
