Too many students view mathematics as merely a hurdle to be jumped in their race for an education rather than as a fundamental tool for understanding and solving scientific and mechanical problems. Using real-world examples—plus plenty of animation and graphics—this comprehensive 15-part series helps students to visualize the relationship between forces and motion through phenomena that characterize them. Each program is presented by Dr. Timothy David, a mathematician at the University of Leeds’ School of Engineering, and consists of two sections: a case study, with a series of questions and a hint as to how to construct the mathematical model, and a detailed explanation of the principles behind the case study, along with the solutions to the equations. 15-part series, 21-58 minutes each.
