Megumi is an all-star athlete, but she's a failure when it comes to physics class. And she can't concentrate on her tennis matches when she's worried about the questions she missed on the big test! Luckily for her, she befriends Ryota, a patient physics geek who uses real-world examples to help her understand classical mechanics-and improve her tennis game in the process!
In The Manga Guide to Physics, you'll follow alongside Megumi as she learns about the physics of everyday objects like roller skates, slingshots, braking cars, and tennis serves. In no time, you'll master tough concepts like momentum and impulse, parabolic motion, and the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration.
You'll also learn how to:
Apply Newton's three laws of motion to real-life problems
Determine how objects will move after a collision
Draw vector diagrams and simplify complex problems using trigonometry
Calculate how an object's kinetic energy changes as its potential energy increases
If you're mystified by the basics of physics or you just need a refresher, The Manga Guide to Physics will get you up to speed in a lively, quirky, and practical way.

TREND-PRO CO., LTD.PRAISE FOR THE MANGA GUIDE TO DATABASES
“Without a doubt, The Manga Guide to Databases was the most enjoyable tech book I've
ever read... | loved this book and highly recommend it.”
FIKKY KITE, LINUX PRO MAGAZINE
“Whether you're new to the whole concept of databases, or a hard-core database geek, you.
need to have The Manga Guide to Databases. Really, you want this book’
—JOSH BERKUS, POSTGRESOL CORE TEAM
“For an American audience, this is certainly an off-the-beaten-path approach to technical
training. However, its ability to effectively plunge into a topic that can be a morass of arcane
theory is undeniable, Over the years, we've learned to expect the unexpected from No
Starch Press”
—wacorrecrorY
‘This is a fun book, there is no denying that. If you're in the market to learn more about
databases and you hate normal tech books this is a great pickup.”
THE CAFFINATION PODCAST
“IF Las going to teach a class or introduce a non-technical person to the world of data
bases, | would most likely tart here

PRAISE FOR THE MANGA GUIDE TO
STATISTICS
“This is really what a good math text should be lke
Unike the majority of books on subjects like statistics,
it doesnt just present the material asa dry series of
pointless-seemiing formulas. It presents statistics as
something fun, and something enlightening,”
GOOD MATH, BAD MATH
The Manga Guide to Statistics is a solid introduction to
the world of statistical analysis done in a fun and acces~
sible way
