Jason M Kinser, DSc, has been an associate professor at George Mason University for more than 18 years teaching courses in physics, computational science, bioinformatics and forensic science. Recently, he converted the traditional university physics course into an active learning technology environment at GMU. His research interests include modern teaching techniques, more effective methods in text-based education, image operators and analysis, pulse image processing and multi-domain data analysis. This book was born from a desire to engage students in physics education and to find ways of reducing the external costs that both students and institutions incur within the traditional education framework.Jason M Kinser, DSc, has been an associate professor at George Mason University for more than 18 years teaching courses in physics, computational science, bioinformatics and forensic science.
