Requirements: .PDF reader, 10 MB | True PDF
Overview: 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. An introduction to computer programming is also considered essential in the modern physics curriculum. As in many other physics departments, we have hit upon Python as a suitable language for our students. Because it is outside the range of this text to provide a comprehensive tutorial in Python, we have included only a brief primer to summarize the language. This allows us, however, to include brief Python scripts in the other chapters, in order for the student to see how one could use them to simplify otherwise tedious tasks, for example, matrix manipulations. If the instructor so chooses, these Python sections, as well as the Python primer itself, can be omitted.
