“Modifying Your Thinking Classroom for Different Settings: A Supplement to Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics (Corwin Mathematics Series) 1st Edition” has been added to your cart. View cart
This textbook is a comprehensive introduction to the key disciplines of mathematics – linear algebra, calculus, and geometry – needed in the undergraduate physics curriculum. Its leitmotiv is that success in learning these subjects depends on a good balance between theory and practice. Reflecting this belief, mathematical foundations are explained in pedagogical depth, and computational methods are introduced from a physicist’s perspective and in a timely manner. This original approach presents concepts and methods as inseparable entities, facilitating in-depth understanding and making even advanced mathematics tangible. The book guides the reader from high-school level to advanced subjects such as tensor algebra, complex functions, and differential geometry. It contains numerous worked examples, info sections providing context, biographical boxes, several detailed case studies, over 300 problems, and fully worked solutions for all odd-numbered problems. An online solutions manual for all even-numbered problems will be made available to instructors.

The book is as expected. New and what I thought I had ordered. There was a problem with the delivery, but I called Moluna and they had DHL fix the delivery. I had to call Moluna to get the delivery fixed, but they were nice and the book was delivered 2 days after I called them.

Bereits das ausführliche Inhaltsverzeichnis überzeugt und motiviert. Der logische Aufbau und die Gründlichkeit im Detail für die Hauptgebiete Lineare Algebra, Analysis und Vektor-Analysis sind super und Zusammenhänge werden klar. Nach möglicherweise anfänglich langsamerem Vorankommen ist das absichtlich in Englisch gehaltene Buch sprachlich kein Hindernis. Das Buch enthält viele Beispiele für die allgemeinen mathematischen Konzepte in Anwendungen der Physik.
