9780470407844 English 0470407840 Addresses the requirements of physics students who are reviewing undergraduate physics in preparation for the GRE or graduate comprehensive exams. Also includes additional content and features in order to appeal to a significantly broader audience. It thus provides the fundamental formulas, concepts and practical application of the core undergraduate physics curriculum while summarizing mathematics that is frequently encountered in engineering and physics calculations. As well, a highly abridged discussion of scientific programming is presented while very compact (20 or fewer lines of code) computer programsis incorporated in the text where relevant to illustrate the practical application of physical laws and principles. An ftp site offersa set of free programming and graphics software tools together with the programs appearing in the book will accompany the text., Our proposed text will address the requirements of physics students who are reviewing undergraduate physics in preparation for the GRE or graduate comprehensive exams. At the same time, it will include additional content and features in order to appeal to a significantly broader audience.

An ftp site will offer a set of free programming and graphics software tools together with the programs appearing in the book will accompany the text. In summary, the book will concisely present key concepts and equations. It will focus on core issues and omit specialized topics (except for problems that occur with great frequency on examinations) and non-essential details., Provides a concise overview of the core undergraduate physics and applied mathematics curriculum for students and practitioners of science and engineering "Fundamental Math and Physics for Scientists and Engineers" summarizes college and university level physics together with the mathematics frequently encountered in engineering and physics calculations. The presentation provides straightforward, coherent explanations of underlying concepts emphasizing essential formulas, derivations, examples, and computer programs. Content that should be thoroughly mastered and memorized is clearly identified while unnecessary technical details are omitted. "Fundamental Math and Physics for Scientists and Engineers" is an ideal resource for undergraduate science and engineering students and practitioners, students reviewing for the GRE and graduate-level comprehensive exams, and general readers seeking to improve their comprehension of undergraduate physics. Covers topics frequently encountered in undergraduate physics, in particular those appearing in the Physics GRE subject examination Reviews relevant areas of undergraduate applied mathematics, with an overview chapter on scientific programming Provides simple, concise explanations and illustrations of underlying concepts Succinct yet comprehensive, "Fundamental Math and Physics for Scientists and Engineers" constitutes a reference for science and engineering students, practitioners and non-practitioners alike., This book offers a comprehensive yet brief summary of the fundamental material presented in undergraduate physics and mathematics, focusing exclusively on content that should be thoroughly understood and retained for future application. It not only provides key equations and outlines of derivations but also presents simple, highly coherent explanations of the underlying concepts. Also included is coverage of the areas contained in the syllabus for the Physics GRE subject examination and an overview chapter on programming methods. Students who are preparing for the GRE and graduate-level comprehensive exams, undergraduate third- and fourth-year science students, and high-school students will rely on this reference., This text summarizes the core undergraduate physics curriculum together with the mathematics frequently encountered in engineering and physics calculations, focusing on content relevant to practical applications.Covers major undergraduate physics topics including the complete Physics GRE subject examination syllabusOverview of key results in undergraduate applied mathematics and introduces scientific programmingPresents simple, coherent derivations and illustrations of fundamental concepts
