Synopsis

Shows dogs how to: bring down the mailman with the correct ratio of stealth and brute force; poop strategically, indoors and out, by understanding variable-mass systems; open any cupboard with Newton's First Law; play fetch by calculating velocity and maximum range; catch squirrels by accounting for friction, weight, and air resistance; and more.

About this title

About the Author:

John-Andrew Sandbrook is a senior mathematical sciences and computer science major at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. As a lifelong dog owner, he's seen his fair share of food-sneaking, revenge-taking, and chair-warming. Dara Flynn, MS received her Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering and her Master of Science in Materials Science from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. The proud owner of a physics-ally inclined Doberman, Flynn has survived many of these scenarios on the wrong side of a clever canine. From several strategic puking incidents and a laughable attempt at a sled pull to valiant conquests of ants and cowardly shivers at the smallest sign of thunder, Flynn observed and conducted countless dog-years of field experiments and lab trials before undertaking coauthorship of this book.
