About the author

Jay Wile learned about his love for chemistry when his dedicated parents bought him his first chemistry set. Many stink bombs and a few explosions later, he was hooked! Although he loved chemistry, he also had many other interests. For a while, he thought about becoming a concert pianist, but unfortunately, his fingers were not long enough (no kidding!). As he was finishing up his high school years, he became extremely interested in the theater and began to pursue a career in acting. Partly because he learned the science behind some of the special effects of the plays in which he performed, he eventually went back to his first love: chemistry.

He went to the University of Rochester in upstate New York to study chemistry, and while he was there, he began working on nuclear chemistry experiments. He became so fascinated with nuclear chemistry that he stayed at the University of Rochester and got a Ph.D. in that field. For several years, he did research in the field under the auspices of the Department of Energy and the National Science Foundation. This research led to several grants and many publications. While doing research, Dr. Wile was also an assistant professor of chemistry.

Dr. Wile's love of science is demonstrated by the many awards he has won for excellence in teaching and research. He has also presented numerous lectures on the topics of Nuclear Chemistry, Christian Apologetics, Homeschooling, and Creation vs. Evolution. He has published 30 articles on these subjects in nationally-recognized, peer-reviewed journals, and has 9 books to his credit, most of which belong to the award-winning "Exploring Creation with" series of junior-high and high-school science courses.

Incredible introduction to Physics! I'm a Junior in high school and just finished this textbook. Wile took a topic I was nervous about and explained things in his usual clear, concise style so that I got an A on my final! His style is excellent and I feel I have a very solid grasp of introductory Physics. I found the material fascinating and have been thinking in terms of Physics about everyday things throughout the course of the book. I've used multiple of Wile's textbooks (Exploring Creation with Biology, Exploring Creation with Physical Science) and found them all extremely valuable resources. I highly recommend them to all students considering Physics. Thank you so much, Mr. Wile! One day, I hope to use your science books to home educate my own children. :)

Excellent introduction to Physics, even for a secular student. Very helpful to the independent learner. I highly recommend it.
