Kinematics (Y?und?ongxu?e) -- 3. Force (l?i) -- 4. Torque (l?ij?u) -- 5. Energy (?eng) and Momentum (D?ongli?ang) -- 6. Experiments 6-1 -- 6.1. Paper making (Z?aozh?i) -- 6.2. Stress-strain curves of silk thread (S?aixi?an y?ingl?i-y?ingbi?an q?auxi?an) -- 6.3. Steelyard balance (Ch?eng).The combination of Asian studies and Physics is a unique blend rarely found in a Western scientific classroom. The field of Asian studies is rapidly growing and branching out into scientific realms. At the same time, there is a growing need to educate our young people in science, technology and mathematics (STEM). This book presents scientific principles through the technology and inventions of ancient China. It explores these ideas in their historical context, as well as through the lens of current scientific understanding.Non-science majors, undergraduates.Also available in print.Mode of access: World Wide Web.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Matt Marone is an Associate Professor at Mercer University in Macon Georgia where he teaches Physics, Astronomy and Asian Studies. He received his PhD and MS degrees from Clemson University, and a BS degree in physics from the Rochester Institute of Technology. In the early 1990s he worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing. At Mercer he teaches a wide range of physics classes including several specialized classes in observational astronomy, acoustical foundations of music and ancient Chinese science.Title from PDF title page (viewed on August 15, 2019).
