Harun Akon
Harun Akon is a Physics professor at the University of Chittagong in Bangladesh since 1993. While on leave, he also taught in various schools, colleges, and universities in Canada. He spent the last 20 years studying classical physics in depth and identified inconsistencies and numerous anomalies across textbooks from various courses. This inspired him to write this book, aiming to bring coherence and symmetry to different aspects of classical physics education. Dr. Akon is a former fellow of the South Korean Science and Technology Foundation. He has authored numerous articles in the field of applied nuclear physics, using the name A.K.M. Harun-ar-Rashid. His multichannel authentication model is widely recognized and used for information access. Currently, Dr. Akon resides in Surrey, British Columbia.
