From the Introduction
By working through the previous eight books in the Programme your intelligence has certainly expanded and your intellect has been greatly sharpened. Not only that but your mathematical skills have come on in leaps and bounds. Having mastered a number of calculus techniques, in this book you will come across a number of calculus applications.
- The second chapter on statistics will show you how calculus is used in this subject.
- In order to extend your application knowledge of calculus you are introduced to partial fractions and how to use them.
- One are where applied mathematics is significant is in mechanics, a whole range of mechanics problems are covered which again provide an insight into the application of mathematics.
- Although you have a good knowledge of differentiation, you will be introduced to partial differentiation which involves several variables.
- The chapter on econometrics will further your knowledge of model building using linear regression.
- Power series often comes up in mathematics and you’ll be introduced to the way functions can be approximated by a series.
- Difference equations offer an insight into how many physical problems are represented mathematically and you’ll gain some knowledge of how these operate.
