Contents:
Simultaneous Equations -- Three Dimensional Geometry -- Vectors -- Complex Numbers -- Ordinary Differential Equations -- Partial Derivatives -- Taylor Series -- Lagrangian multiplayers -- Integrals -- Vector Operators -- Partial Deferential Equations -- Fourier Series -- Normal Modes -- Waves -- Matrices -- Eigenvectors and Eigenvalues
Summary: In what way is the square root-of-1 useful for electriccircuits? How can the mount blanc cable car help you understand constrained maximisation problems? Do the prices of second-handcars provide insights concerning partial derivatives? This book explains the connection. Its purpose is to enable you to understand what you are doing, rather than blindly applying memorised techniques. It also aims to make you feel very much at home with the mathematics needed for applications to actual physical problems. A wide range of such examples is discussed. Paperback
