Download or read book The Language of Physics written by Elizabeth Garber and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work is the first explicit examination of the key role that mathematics has played in the development of theoretical physics and will undoubtedly challenge the more conventional accounts of its historical development. Although mathematics has long been regarded as the "language" of physics, the connections between these independent disciplines have been far more complex and intimate than previous narratives have shown. The author convincingly demonstrates that practices, methods, and language shaped the development of the field, and are a key to understanding the mergence of the modern academic discipline. Mathematicians and physicists, as well as historians of both disciplines, will find this provocative work of great interest.

Download or read book Modern Introductory Physics written by Charles H. Holbrow and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-09-23 with total page 670 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thisbookgrewoutof anongoing e?orttomodernizeColgate University’s three-term,introductory,calculus-level physicscourse. Thebookisforthe ?rst term of this course and is intended to help ?rst-year college students make a good transition from high-school physics to university physics. Thebookconcentrates onthephysicsthatexplainswhywebelievethat atoms exist and have the properties we ascribe to them. This story line, which motivates much of our professional research, has helped us limit the material presented to a more humane and more realistic amount than is presented in many beginning university physics courses. The theme of atoms also supports the presentation of more non-Newtonian topics and ideas than is customary in the ?rst term of calculus-level physics. We think it is important and desirable to introduce students sooner than usual to some of the major ideas that shape contemporary physicists’ views of the nature and behavior of matter. Here in the second decade of the twenty-?rst century such a goal seems particularly appropriate. The quantum nature of atoms and light and the mysteries associated with quantum behavior clearly interest our students. By adding and - phasizing more modern content, we seek not only to present some of the physics that engages contemporary physicists but also to attract students to take more physics. Only a few of our beginning physics students come to us sharply focused on physics or astronomy. Nearly all of them, h- ever, have taken physics in high school and found it interesting.
Download or read book Learning Basic Calculus written by Alexander Hahn and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This introductory calculus text was developed by the author through his teaching of an honors calculus course at Notre Dame. The book develops calculus, as well as the necessary trigonometry and analytic geometry, from witin the relevant historical context, and yet it is not a textbook in the history of mathematics as such. The notation is modern, and the material is selected to cover the basics of the subject. Special emphasis is placed on pedagogy throughout. Whhile emphasizing the broad applications of the subject, emphasis is placed on the mathematical content of the subject.
Download or read book Second Year Calculus written by David M. Bressoud and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 399 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Second Year Calculus: From Celestial Mechanics to Special Relativity covers multi-variable and vector calculus, emphasizing the historical physical problems which gave rise to the concepts of calculus. The book guides us from the birth of the mechanized view of the world in Isaac Newton's Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy in which mathematics becomes the ultimate tool for modelling physical reality, to the dawn of a radically new and often counter-intuitive age in Albert Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity in which it is the mathematical model which suggests new aspects of that reality. The development of this process is discussed from the modern viewpoint of differential forms. Using this concept, the student learns to compute orbits and rocket trajectories, model flows and force fields, and derive the laws of electricity and magnetism. These exercises and observations of mathematical symmetry enable the student to better understand the interaction of physics and mathematics.

Download or read book An Advanced Introduction to Calculus Based Physics Mechanics written by Chris McMullen and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: CONTENTS: This textbook covers the mechanics portion of first-semester calculus-based physics. AUDIENCE: This calculus-based physics textbook is geared toward independent learners who can handle the rigors of calculus and who seek to develop a strong introduction to the fundamentals of physics, both mathematically and conceptually. It could also serve as a useful reference for physics and engineering students who have gone beyond the first year of physics, but who would like to review the fundamentals as they explore more advanced fields of physics. This volume is dedicated to mechanics. PREREQUISITES: No previous exposure to physics is assumed. The student should be familiar with the basic techniques of differentiation and integration, including polynomials and trig functions, and should be fluent in algebra and familiar with the basic trig functions. COREQUISITES: The textbook teaches Calculus II skills as needed, such as the technique of integrating via trigonometric substitution. The textbook also reviews some Calculus I skills which students often forget, such as the mean-value theorem, l'Hopital's rule, and the chain rule. This is not done in an introductory chapter or an appendix, but in the main text as these ideas first become useful. IMPORTANT DISTINCTIONS: Boxes of important distinctions are included in order to help students distinguish between similar concepts – like average speed and average velocity, between velocity and acceleration, or between mass and weight. TABLE OF EQUATIONS: There is a handy table of equations organized by topic on the back cover of the textbook. The equations in the text (but not on the cover) also include notes to help students understand any limitations that the equations may have (e.g. some equations only apply if acceleration is uniform or if mass is constant). CONCISE OUTLINE FORMAT: The text is conveniently organized by specific topic to help students who may not be reading straight through, but who may be searching for a specific idea or who may be reviewing material that they read previously. There is also a handy index to help locate concepts quickly. Examples and problem-solving strategies clearly stand out from discussions of concepts. MATHEMATICAL & CONCEPTUAL EMPHASIS: There is much emphasis both on learning the mathematics precisely and understanding the concepts at a deep, precise level. An underlying idea is that students should not guess at concepts, but that concepts are mathematically motivated: Let the equations be your guide. PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGIES: All of the main problem-solving strategies – like projectile motion, applying Newton's second law, or conserving energy – are highlighted and described step-by-step and in detail. Examples illustrate how to carry out all of the problem-solving strategies. NOTES: Several notes are boxed to describe important points, common mistakes, and exceptions. Hundreds of footnotes are included to discuss subtleties without interrupting the flow of the text. EXAMPLES: Conceptual and problem-solving examples were selected based on their instructiveness in elucidating important concepts or illustrating how to carry out important problem-solving strategies; quality was favored over quantity. Simple plug-and-chug examples and problems are scarce, since the audience for this book is independent students. PRACTICE: The end of each chapter has a good selection of instructive conceptual questions and practice problems. HINTS & ANSWERS: 100% of the conceptual questions have both hints and answers, since it's crucial to develop a solid understanding of the concepts in order to succeed in physics. Some of the practice problems have answers to help independent students gain confidence by reproducing the same answers, while 100% of the practice problems have hints so that students can see if they are solving the problems correctly (even if the problem doesn't have the answer in the back).
