About this title

Synopsis

Old dogs may have trouble with new tricks, but now canine brainiacs can use the laws of physics to master their corner of the universe. Complete with technical illustrations, graphs, and formulas, this book 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 much, much more!

With this hilariously prescriptive how-to, pooches of every size and temperament will learn to chase cars—and catch them!

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.
