Mathematics For Science Students (clpe)

In what way is the square root-of-1 useful for electric circuits? How can the mount blanc cable car help you understand constrained maximisation problems? Do the prices of second-hand cars provide insights concerning partial derivatives? This book expalins 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
