About Hugh D. YoungHugh YoungRoger A. FreedmanRoger Freedman

Roger A. Freedman is a Lecturer in Physics at the University of California Santa Barbara. He was an undergraduate at the University of California campuses in San Diego and Los Angeles and did his doctoral research in nuclear theory at Stanford University under the direction of Professor J. Dirk Walecka. Dr. Freedman came to UCSB in 1981 after three years of teaching and doing research at the University of Washington. At UCSB Dr. Freedman has taught in both the Department of Physics and the College of Creative Studies a branch of the university intended for highly gifted and motivated undergraduates. He has published research in nuclear physics elementary particle physics and laser physics. In recent years he has worked to make physics lectures a more interactive experience through the use of classroom response systems and pre-lecture videos. In the 1970s Dr. Freedman worked as a comic book letterer and helped organize the San Diego Comic-Con (now the worlds largest popular culture convention) during its first few years. Today when not in the classroom or slaving over a computer Dr. Freedman can be found either flying (he holds a commercial pilots license) or with his wife Caroline cheering on the rowers of UCSB Mens and Womens Crew. In Memoriam: Hugh Young (19302013) Hugh D. Young was Emeritus Professor of Physics at Carnegie Mellon University. He earned both his undergraduate and graduate degrees from that university. He earned his Ph.D. in fundamental particle theory under the direction of the late Richard Cutkosky. Dr. Young joined the faculty of Carnegie Mellon in 1956 and retired in 2004. He also had two visiting professorships at the University of California Berkeley. Dr. Youngs career was centered entirely on undergraduate education. He wrote several undergraduate-level textbooks and in 1973 he became a coauthor with Francis Sears and Mark Zemansky for their well-known introductory textbooks. In addition to his role on Sears and Zemanskys University Physics he was the author of Sears and Zemanskys College Physics. Dr. Young earned a bachelors degree in organ performance from Carnegie Mellon in 1972 and spent several years as Associate Organist at St. Pauls Cathedral in Pittsburgh. He often ventured into the wilderness to hike climb or go caving with students in Carnegie Mellons Explorers Club which he founded as a graduate student and later advised. Dr. Young and his wife Alice hosted up to 50 students each year for Thanksgiving dinners in their home. Always gracious Dr. Young expressed his appreciation earnestly: I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to my colleagues at Carnegie Mellon especially Professors Robert Kraemer Bruce Sherwood Ruth Chabay Helmut Vogel and Brian Quinn for many stimulating discussions about physics pedagogy and for their support and encouragement during the writing of several successive editions of this book. I am equally indebted to the many generations of Carnegie Mellon students who have helped me learn what good teaching and good writing are by showing me what works and what doesnt. It is always a joy and a privilege to express my gratitude to my wife Alice and our children Gretchen and Rebecca for their love support and emotional sustenance during the writing of several successive editions of this book. May all men and women be blessed with love such as theirs. We at Pearson appreciated his professionalism good nature and collaboration. He will be missed. A. Lewis Ford is Professor of Physics at Texas A&M University. He received a B.A. from Rice University in 1968 and a Ph.D. in chemical physics from the University of Texas at Austin in 1972. After a one-year postdoc at Harvard University he joined the Texas A&M physics faculty in 1973 and has been there ever since. Professor Ford has specialized in theoretical atomic physicsin particular atomic collisions. At Texas A&M he has taught a variety of undergraduate and graduate courses but primarily introductory physics.
