Description
Physics with Maple (R) is designed for students of all levels taking core classes in the physics curriculum. In this book, authors John Ogilvie and Frank Wang show students how to solve real physical problems, in topics as diverse as classical mechanics, electromagnetism, optics, and modern physics, using the standard software system in research in physics and many other sciences. With Maple (R), students can solve problems algebraically and numerically, and present and analyze the results graphically. Using these Maple (R) tools, the authors guide students through in-depth problems in which the math might otherwise be intimidating, allowing the reader to focus on understanding the physical principles.
