This book describes the physics of baseball and softball, assuming that
the reader has a basic background in both physics and mathematics. The
physics will be explained in a conversational style, with words and
illustrations, so that the explanations make sense. The book provides an
excellent opportunity to explain physics at a relatively simple level,
even though the primary objective is to explain the many subtle features
concerning the physics of baseball. For those readers who already know
quite a bit of physics and who will be comfortable with mathematical
equations, additional material of this nature will be provided in
appendices. The latest research findings and statistical data have been
incorporated by the author. The book also contains many simple
experiments that the reader can perform to convince themselves that the
effects described do indeed exist.
