Physics equations/00-Mathematics for this course

About the textbook

This resources uses, openstax Physics, an open source textbook available for free at http://cnx.org/content/col11406/1.7) Most sections of the Physics equations have a link to the appropriate chapter.

This section is an exception, since openstax Physics has no such review.

• See also Calculus review and Fundamental theorem of calculus

Wikiversity resources

• Vectors Has most of what you need to get started and a bit of what you do not need.
• Topic:Trigonometry Concise.
• Trigonometry Parallel Wikiversity effort
  • Trigonometry/Polar Relevant to this course

CALCULUS-based Wikiversity resources

• Vector calculus Vector derivatives. Gradient, div, and stokes theorems.
• Coordinate systems Designed to facilitate a simple understanding of line, surface and volume integrals.
• Coulomb's Law Introduces the Coulomb integral using a line charge. It then extends this result to a plane charge using a double integral.

Wikibooks

• b:Subject:Physics an impressive list is growing. If a book is listed as "featured" it is probably good. If it is not classified as "complete" it probably very incomplete.
• b:Physics Study Guide a featured book
• b:FHSST_Physics a featured high school textbook

CALCULUS-based Wikibooks

• b:Calculus Seems to be first rate.

Wikipedia articles

• w:Linear_equation#Algebraic_equations misplaced but interesting list of pages.
  • w:Elementary_algebra Fun to skim if you already know the subject.
• w:List_of_trigonometric_identities a really long list
• w:Euclidean vector
  • w:Dot product
  • w:Cross product
  • w:Vector algebra relations Encyclopedic but useful and convenient.
  • w:Vector_(mathematics_and_physics) A wide assortment of entities are called "vectors".
• w:Riemann sum. Everybody needs to know something about the Riemann sum.

CALCULUS-based Wikipedia articles

• w:Differentiation rules Long and complete list of rules associated with first semester calculus.
• w:Vector calculus Advanced. Everything you need in a calculus-based first year physics course.
• w:Del_in_cylindrical_and_spherical_coordinates Long list of essential identities regarding the $\overrightarrow{\mathrm{\nabla }}$ operator.

Links outside Wikimedia

• oregonstate BridgeBook a wiki focusing on the undergraduate physics major.
• UC Davis physwiki Not much material but the wikis are first rate. Part of a suite that includes other subjects.
• openstax Physics Commercial quality (and massive) algebra/trig based textbook, nominally the one used for this course. This book can be accessed as a wiki and edited; the only reason for doing so would be to re-write it as a calculus based text.
