Through text and problems, the authors carefully develop the calculus so that it can be used in many physical applications. In turn, the physics provides examples for the development of the calculus concepts. As a result, students gain a full understanding of calculus and its relevance to physics. Features Using applications and examples, the text integrates physics and calculus wherever possible to help students make the complex but necessary connections between the two subjects. Throughout the text, worked examples in both physics and calculus clarify the topics.
Numerous problems allow students to practice applying concepts and theories.
Historical developments in both physics and calculus are discussed whenever appropriate to give students a context for learning the material. The text is ideal for schools at which physics and calculus are closely coordinated. Table of Contents 1. Functions and Vectors. Derivatives and Their Applications in Kinematics.
