Will artificial intelligence solve all problems, making scientific
formulae redundant? The authors of this book would argue that there
is still a vital role in formulating them to make sense of the laws
of nature. To derive a formula one needs to follow a series of
steps; last of all, check that the result is correct, primarily
through the analysis of limiting cases. The book is about
unravelling this machinery.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.
