calculus, physics, AP physics, in Fremont, Pleasanton, and Union

City (CA). Significant errors are found in the textbook College

Physics. Find a better way to teach logarithm. Working on teaching

methods such as 'Using Diagram to Understand and Solve Problems in

K12 Math' and 'Vectors for Solving Problems in AP Physics'.

Studying spontaneous, interactive, and dynamic fracturing by

physical and variarional principles. Studying how to fix the pure-

roll paradox. Studying problem with the N-S energy equation.

Deriving the axisymmetric Boltzmann equation, and working on

'Comment on the Relativistic Propagation of Screw Dislocation or

Mode III Crack', based on communications with authorities at

University of Texas at Austin, Texas A&M University, and Harvard

University. 266 Galano Plaza, Union City, CA 94587.
