Description

A supplementary text for introductory courses in Calculus-Based Physics.

Designed for students who plan to take or who are presently taking calculus-based physics courses. This book will develop necessary mathematical skills and help students gain the competence to use precalculus, calculus, vector algebra, vector calculus, and the statistical analysis of experimental data. Students taking intermediate physics, engineering, and other science courses will also find the book useful—and will be able to use the book as a mathematical resource for these intermediate level courses. The book emphasizes primarily the use of mathematical techniques and mathematical concepts in Physics and does not go into their rigorous developments.


Features

  • Ideal for students with weak mathematics backgrounds—Helps students improve their math skills generally and develop competence and confidence in using math in a physics course.
  • A discussion on math anxiety—Helps students understand the basis of their anxiety and offers suggests on how to deal with it.
  • Shows common math mistakes—Points out traps and pitfalls that students often encounter.
  • Worked-out examples and problems from physics—In almost all sections; shows students how the concept of mathematics is directly applied to physics.
  • An abundance of tables and figures—Many (e.g., the units of base and derived quantities) highlighted in boxes. Offers support for visual learners and provides convenient study and review tools.
  • Appendices—Provide students with a convenient source of important physical constants, useful data, and conversion factors.
