A Pew Study reports that only 2% of America's twelve million bloggers claim "religion, spirituality or faith" as their main topic.

Before blindly jumping in, however, Christians need to weigh the possibilities against the c...

This text provides a pedagogical tour through mechanics from Newton to Einstein with detailed explanations and a large number of worked examples. From the very beginning relativity is kept in mind, along with its relation to concepts of basic mechanics, such as inertia, escape velocity, Newton's potential, Kepler motion and curvature. The Lagrange and Hamilton formalisms are treated in detail, and extensive applications to central forces and r...
