Synopsis

Mathematics for College Physics For courses in Algebra-Based Physics, this text shows students clearly how mathematics is directly applied to physics, and discusses math anxiety in general and how to overcome it. Instead of a rigorous development of the concepts of mathematics, it describes the mathematical concepts and tools and their direct use in solving physics problems. Full description

About this title

Synopsis:

A supplementary text for introductory courses in Algebra-Based Physics. Designed for concurrent self-study or remedial math work for students in introductory courses, this text is ideal for students who find themselves unable to keep pace because of a lack of familiarity with necessary mathematical tools. It not only shows them clearly how mathematics is directly applied to physics, but discusses math anxiety in general and how to overcome it. Instead of a rigorous development of the concepts of mathematics (as is found in a typical math book), the text describes the various mathematical concepts and tools (including algebra, trigonometry, geometry, vector, and statistics) and their direct use in solving physics problems. Almost all sections end with worked-out examples and exercises directly from introductory physics.
