Does a glass of ice water filled to the brim overflow when the ice melts? Does the energy inside a sauna increase when you heat it up? What's the best way to cool your coffee—adding the creamer first or last? These and other challenging puzzlers provide a fresh—and fun—approach to learning real physics. Presenting both classic and new problems, Brainteaser Physics challenges readers to use imagination and basic physics principles to find the answers. Göran Grimvall provides detailed and accessible explanations of the solutions, sometimes correcting the standard explanations, sometimes putting a new twist on them. He provides diagrams and equations where appropriate and ends each problem by discussing a specific concept or offering an extra challenge. With Brainteaser Physics, students and veteran physicists alike can sharpen their critical and creative thinking—and have fun at the same time.

Essays and examples that reveal how scientists figure things out: “An excellent piece of work with lots of fascinating information.” —Brian Clegg, Popular Science Göran Grimvall is determined to help mere mortals understand how scientists get to the kernel of perplexing problems. Entertaining and enlightening, his latest book uses examples from sports, literature, and nature—as well as from the varied worlds of science—to illustrate how scientists make sense of and explain the world around us. Grimvall’s fun-to-read essays and easy-to-follow examples detail how order-of-magnitude estimation, extreme cases, dimensional analysis, and other modeling methods work. They also reveal how nonscientists absorb these concepts and use them at home, school, and work. These simple, elegant explanations will help you tap into your inner scientist. Read this book and enjoy your own “Aha!” moment. “A wonderful read for everyone, emphasizing how scientists and engineers tend to think about examples from daily life that are expressed by numbers . . . Highly recommended.” —Choice

The Asian Physics Olympiad (APhO) is a unique, single-subject, practical and theory-based individual competition in the field of physics. It was developed to provide young Asian students with a platform to display their physics knowledge. It is the celebration of the best in pre-university physics. Each year, for about one week, pre-university students from across Asia gather and test their theory and practical skills in physics. This book contains question papers in both theory and experiment and their solutions together with description of various activities of the 15th Asian Physics Olympiad held in Singapore from 11th to 18th May 2014. The book will serve as a valuable source of interesting and challenging experimental and theoretical topics for young physicists worldwide.
