About this title

Synopsis

Essential Math for Physics Undergraduates: Practical Examples with Python Tools covers basic applied Math and entry-level programming. A gap often exists in the Physics student’s Math curriculum, between the Math taught by the Math departments and the Math taught either in a “Math Methods” or advanced Physics courses, such as introduction to quantum mechanics, classical mechanics, thermal and statistical physics, and electromagnetic theory. This text plugs that gap and provides the new Physics student with the necessary tools to succeed in their Physics curriculum. The book helps instructors to fill in the gap between what new Physics students learn in high school and introductory college math courses, providing them with what they need to know as they progress through their Physics curriculum.

Key Features:

• Covers Math that is essential in Physics curricula
• Offers a more accessible introduction to Math than can be found in typical “Math Methods for Physicists” texts
• Introduces Python and shows the reader how to use it for basic math problems
