About the Authors Kenneth Rideout M.S., Jonathan Wolf M.A. Ed. M Ken Rideout has a B.S. in Honors Physics from Purdue University and an M.S. in Physics from Carnegie Mellon University. He has been teaching high school physics for more than fifteen years in the Boston area and is currently the science department head at Wayland High School in Wayland, MA.
Jonathan Wolf has taught all levels of physics at both the secondary school and college level for over 36 years. He spent 25 of those years teaching physics at Scarsdale High School in Scarsdale, New York and retired from there in 2014. He has taught introductory college physics lectures and introductory college physics labs as a member of the adjunct faculty at Hofstra University, Seton Hall University, and most recently at Fairleigh Dickinson University in Madison, New Jersey. He is the author of the former Barron's AP Physics B review book, Barron's College Review: Physics, and was a co-author of the former version of Barron's SAT Physics Subject Test Review. He has published over forty professional papers in the fields of Astronomy, Physics, and Physics Education and served for more than ten years as Assistant Editor for The Science Teachers Bulletin published by the Science Teachers Association of New York State (STANYS).
About the Publisher Many great things begin with a tiny spark, and for Manuel H. Barron that spark came from a mimeograph machine in the basement of his Brooklyn, NY, bookstore in the late 1930s. People from the community asked Mr. Barron for books to help their children study for the New York State Regents exams. After realizing there wasn't anything available, Mr. Barron created his own study guides.
Now, more than 80 years later, Barrons continues to help millions of learners worldwide prepare for their next steps. With offerings from pre-college prep to world language guides and professional certification exams, Barrons wants to be part of your success story no matter what learning path youre on. You can trust Barrons to provide exceptional products created only by top experts with years of experience in education. From generation to generation, our mission remains the same: Learn, grow, and succeed with Barrons throughout your life-long learning journey.
