Book Description
This second book in a two-volume work introduces the mathematics needed for an introductory course in the physical sciences through understanding real examples. Mathematics is taught as a tool for understanding physical systems and their behaviour. The aim is to make the student feel at home with real problems by creating a toolkit through a wide range of examples.The approach is very succesful for undergraduates who find it hard to make the bridge between formal mathematical theory, and applications to real systems.
Review
'... a compendium of explanations of applications of mathematics in physics, designed to be dipped into and to inspire thought ... once the book is opened, be warned, you are likely to be hooked ...'. Nigel Steele, The Times Higher Eduction Supplement
