E-Books →How to Derive a Formula – Volume 1 Basic Analytical Skills and Methods for Physical Scientists (Essential Textbooks in Physics

Mathematics is the 'queen of all sciences', but students encounter many obstacles in learning the subject - familiarization with the proofs of hundreds of theorems, mysterious symbols, and technical routines for which the usefulness is not obvious upfront. Those interested in the physical sciences could lose motivation, not seeing the wood for the trees.
How to Derive a Formula is an attempt to engage these learners, presenting mathematical methods in simple terms, with more of an emphasis on skills as opposed to technical knowledge. Based on intuition and common sense rather than mathematical rigor, it teaches students from scratch using pertinent examples, many taken across the physical sciences.
This book provides an interesting new perspective of what a mathematics textbook could be, including historical facts and humour to complement the material.
Readership: Advanced and enthusiastic school students preparing for universities, specializing in science - A-level (UK), Abitur (Germany), Lycée (France), high school (USA) and alike; teachers and tutors; undergraduate students; university lecturers.
