Guide to Essential Math: A Review for Physics, Chemistry and by Sy M. Blinder

25 February 2017 adminGeneral Reference

By Sy M. Blinder

Please word the notice "review" within the subtitle. i discovered that for the maths I had truly studied, this was once certainly an invaluable evaluation. yet for whatever i did not already be aware of, i did not locate this ebook to be an outstanding position to begin -- there seriously is not area in a small booklet with large assurance for quite constructing and motivating a topic.

Some issues I liked:
- the casual tone of the booklet
- necessary (usually) diagrams
- particularly the unit circle diagram integrated the tangent and secant strains, giving me a geometrical instinct approximately these capabilities that I by no means had sooner than
- he supplies the elemental suggestion first, then is going into the "fine print" -- really nice
- the typesetting is usually first-class (except -- uggh! -- for a couple of locations the place they attempted to focus on textual content in shaded bins, however the shading is so darkish I needed to circulate to higher lighting fixtures to learn what it says!)

Some issues I didn't:
- ahead references (e.g. early on he will get into a few heady stuff approximately primes, and within the subsequent bankruptcy tells you what primes are)
- from time to time it used to be difficult for me to inform the place the writer used to be going, i.e. a greater transition or connective might have helped
- without doubt for brevity, the writer skips steps, occasionally leaving the reader with just a little a puzzle to determine what simply happened

Also needless to say this booklet does *not* include, as chances are you'll count on from the identify, worked-out examples of physics/chemistry/engineering difficulties. it isn't that sort of ebook in any respect. This e-book is more or less just like the beginnings of ten books at the varieties of math scientists and engineers will desire, minus the tedious definitions and proofs, offered extra informally. it's quite good executed.

Finally, the fee turns out form of excessive for the scale of publication, but when what you would like is a short casual assessment of plenty of math that may be worthy in technology and engineering, this may be simply the ticket.

Example text

14) 34 Chapter 3 Algebra Complicated algebraic expressions are best handled nowadays using symbolic math programs such as MathematicaTM , MapleTM , or MathcadTM . Cancellation is a wonderful way to simplify formulas. 15) where the symbols in gray boxes are to be crossed out. But do not spoil everything by trying to cancel the bs or cs as well. The analogous cancellation can be done on the two sides of an equation: a bX + a cY a bZ + a bW =⇒ bX + cY bZ + cW. 16) For your amusement, here is a “proof” that 2 1.

Setting a 1, b x, the binomial formula can be expressed as n−1 (1 + x)n r 0 n r x r 1+nx+ n(n − 1) 2 n(n − 1)(n − 2) 3 x + x + · · ·. 2! 3! 92) This was first derived by Isaac Newton in 1666. Remarkably, the binomial formula is also valid for negative, fractional, and even complex values of n, which was proved by Niels Henrik Abel in 1826. 94) (1 − x)−1/2 1+ 1 5 3 3 x + x2 + x + · · ·. 95) e Is for Euler Imagine there is a bank in your town that offers you 100% annual interest on your deposit (we will let pass the possibility that the bank might be engaged in questionable loan-sharking activities).

38) we find (x1/2 )2 x1 x. 40) x. 41) x and evidently xm/n n xm √ m n x . 42) 38 Chapter 3 Algebra This also implies the equivalence y xn ⇐⇒ Finally, consider the product (xy)2 y1/n . xy × xy (xyz . . 43) x2 y2 . The general rule is xn yn zn . .. 44) Logarithms Inverse operations are pairs of mathematical manipulations in which one operation undoes the action of the other—for example, addition and subtraction, multiplication and division. The inverse of a number usually means its 1/x. , x−1 rocal) equals 1.
