Download or read book The Calculus Primer written by William L. Schaaf and published by Courier Corporation. This book was released on 2014-03-05 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive but concise, this introduction to differential and integral calculus covers all the topics usually included in a first course. The straightforward development places less emphasis on mathematical rigor, and the informal manner of presentation sets students at ease. Many carefully worked-out examples illuminate the text, in addition to numerous diagrams, problems, and answers. Bearing the needs of beginners constantly in mind, the treatment covers all the basic concepts of calculus: functions, derivatives, differentiation of algebraic and transcendental functions, partial differentiation, indeterminate forms, general and special methods of integration, the definite integral, partial integration, and other fundamentals. Ample exercises permit students to test their grasp of subjects before moving forward, making this volume appropriate not only for classroom use but also for review and home study.

Download or read book A Primer on the Calculus of Variations and Optimal Control Theory written by Mike Mesterton-Gibbons and published by American Mathematical Soc.. This book was released on 2009 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The calculus of variations is used to find functions that optimize quantities expressed in terms of integrals. Optimal control theory seeks to find functions that minimize cost integrals for systems described by differential equations. This book is an introduction to both the classical theory of the calculus of variations and the more modern developments of optimal control theory from the perspective of an applied mathematician. It focuses on understanding concepts and how to apply them. The range of potential applications is broad: the calculus of variations and optimal control theory have been widely used in numerous ways in biology, criminology, economics, engineering, finance, management science, and physics. Applications described in this book include cancer chemotherapy, navigational control, and renewable resource harvesting. The prerequisites for the book are modest: the standard calculus sequence, a first course on ordinary differential equations, and some facility with the use of mathematical software. It is suitable for an undergraduate or beginning graduate course, or for self study. It provides excellent preparation for more advanced books and courses on the calculus of variations and optimal control theory.

Download or read book Fundamentals of Tensor Calculus for Engineers with a Primer on Smooth Manifolds written by Uwe Mühlich and published by Springer. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the fundamentals of modern tensor calculus for students in engineering and applied physics, emphasizing those aspects that are crucial for applying tensor calculus safely in Euclidian space and for grasping the very essence of the smooth manifold concept. After introducing the subject, it provides a brief exposition on point set topology to familiarize readers with the subject, especially with those topics required in later chapters. It then describes the finite dimensional real vector space and its dual, focusing on the usefulness of the latter for encoding duality concepts in physics. Moreover, it introduces tensors as objects that encode linear mappings and discusses affine and Euclidean spaces. Tensor analysis is explored first in Euclidean space, starting from a generalization of the concept of differentiability and proceeding towards concepts such as directional derivative, covariant derivative and integration based on differential forms. The final chapter addresses the role of smooth manifolds in modeling spaces other than Euclidean space, particularly the concepts of smooth atlas and tangent space, which are crucial to understanding the topic. Two of the most important concepts, namely the tangent bundle and the Lie derivative, are subsequently worked out.

Download or read book Applications of Calculus in Physics written by Quantum Scientific Publishing and published by Quantum Scientific Publishing. This book was released on 2023-06-11 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is to show students of both math and physics the deep relationship between the areas of physics and calculus. In particular: a) How calculus can deepen our understanding of the physical concepts b) How calculus can link together two or more seemingly unrelated physical concepts c) How calculus can be used to help us apply physical concepts to technology d) How calculus provides a mechanism to do physics in alternative ways Because many students might be seeing calculus for the first time, a basic 100-page Calculus Primer has been included in the text immediately following the applications. The Calculus Primer focuses on giving the students a “crash course” in how to calculate a derivative and an integral quickly, rather than on the deep rigor taught in many calculus courses. Formal mathematical language has been intentionally avoided to help students acquire this useful tool as quickly as possible. Because this material is being included in a physics application book rather than a calculus course, the Calculus Primer includes exercises with full solutions. These step-by-step solutions are important since many students will attempt to learn this material on their own. So that the student can immediately see if he/she has executed the calculus correctly using the given rules and algorithms, the solutions have intentionally been left in an “unsimplified” form. As the student works through the ten applications in the book, Connection Boxes are provided in the margins to map the student to the appropriate section of the Calculus Primer to learn the necessary calculus tool to complete the application. Because the Calculus Primer is designed to provide the necessary calculus tools on an “as needed” basis, both the topics covered and their order is somewhat different from that of a standard introductory calculus text. The applications are organized in terms of physical content rather than by calculus content. Consequently, physical concepts that are introduced early in a standard physics course appear earlier in this section than those introduced later in the course. The following examples of the many applications of calculus in physics are covered in this book: 1. Displacement, Velocity, and Acceleration 2. The Work Done by a Variable Force 3. Force and Potential Energy 4. The Electrical-Mechanical Analogy 5. Impulse and Momentum 6. Kepler’s Law of Areas and Conservation of Angular Momentum 7. Shockley’s Equation and Thermodynamics 8. Simple Harmonic Oscillators 9. The Velocity of a Transverse Wave 10. Lagrangian Physics: An Alternative Way to do Physics To help both the student and the instructor, each application also ends with a set of exercises related to the topic of the application.
