Also, remember this useful little nugget: a v (dv/dx).
Although it probably wont be obvious from the way its presented.
CALCULUS FOR PHYSICS 101 PLUS
This course will take you from being a complete beginner to someone with a deeper understanding of vector calculus and physics in general than what most people will probably ever have. EVERYTHING in physics 1 comes from doing calculus on the the two axioms fma and total stuff equals original stuff plus stuff in minus stuff out. The course begins with covering the very basics, like coordinate systems, functions and vectors, all the way up to advanced topics, such as the divergence theorem, the Helmholtz theorem as well as contra- and covariant coordinate transformations, all topics that are absolutely essential in almost all areas of physics. You’ll be able to save TONS of time and effort as this course only focuses on the things that are actually necessary, rather than having you learn a bunch of useless fluff you’re never going to use anywhere. Physics (PHY) 1 PHYSICS (PHY) PHY-101 General Physics I (3 credits) This calculus-based course is an introduction to the principles of kinematics and dynamics as they apply to both translational and rotational motion. This is because each concept is carefully built up to from scratch and the physical as well as the practical motivation behind each new concept is explained. The best part about this course is that anyone will be able to understand the topics covered with basic high school level math (if even that). This is the exact issue this course aims to fix – to really help you learn the math, only the actually important stuff that’s needed for understanding advanced physics.Īnd better yet, everything I’ve learned about vector calculus is given to you in this course in the most practical way possible, so that all the math you learn is going to be of use to you in directly applying it to understand real-world phenomena.
I’ve been there… trying to learn from multiple textbooks and courses at the same time, trying to piece together various seemingly unrelated concepts, all while wondering which topics are ACTUALLY going to be important to learn and which are not. Vector calculus and advanced math are often taught in an abstract and unpractical way, leaving you wondering “what am I ever going to do with this knowledge?” The concepts of limits, infinitesimal partitions, and continuously changing quantities paved the way to Calculus, the universal tool for modeling continuous systems from Physics to Economics. Vector calculus underlies almost all of advanced physics and not understanding it will just leave you frustrated and spinning your wheels trying to learn physics without actually progressing anywhere. and in EASC 101, and one of MATH 114, MATH 120, or MATH 125.
One of the most important areas of mathematics that ANYONE wanting to learn classical mechanics, electromagnetism, relativity or any engineering discipline needs to master is vector calculus. This is a calculus based physics course intended for students in the physical sciences or.
