Eric M. Rogers (15 August 1902 – 1 July 1990) was a British writer and physics educator.[1] He is perhaps best known for his 1960 textbook Physics for the Inquiring Mind.[2] The book, subtitled The Methods, Nature, and Philosophy of Physical Science, was based on courses he gave at Princeton University, where he taught from 1942 to 1971.[3] Rogers also headed the Nuffield Science Teaching Project programme in physics education in the 1960s.
