About the Author
Clifford E. Swartz (1925 -2010) was a founding member of the physics department faculty at Stony Brook University (State University of New York at Stony Brook) and editor for almost 30 years of The Physics Teacher, a monthly journal published by the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT).
Swartz was legendary for his lectures, demonstrations, and enthusiasm for teaching physics. He was widely known for his efforts to change the teaching of science, especially physics, so that students from elementary school through college would learn by doing experiments rather than passively watching teacher demonstrations and lectures. He authored or co-authored more than 30 books, most of them physics books and textbooks.
Dr. Swartz was a 1945 graduate of the University of Rochester, where he earned his PhD in physics in 1951. Awards included: Oersted Medal and the Melba Newell Phillips Award, both presented by AAPT, and the Outstanding Civilian Service Medal, presented by the Department of the Army.
