calculus applied in civil engineering
Hello,
Yes, calculus is applied in civil engineering to solve problems related to structural analysis, fluid dynamics, material strength, and optimization.
It helps in designing structures by calculating loads, stresses, and forces, and in areas like determining the flow of water through pipes, optimizing resource use, and analyzing changes in materials over time.
Hope it helps !
Is Principles of Physics good for people who are just starting out Physics(if they know Calculus)?
Principles of Physics by Resnick & Haliday is one of the classic books for those who want to built a strong base of Physics. Now, the book is quite good and it have the chapters in the book which deals with the necessary mathematical tools such as Vector & Calculus. So if you wish to go for the book, then without any doubt you can study from the book. Before starting the book, I would recommend you that you should have patience as there are very long descriptive explanations which in times may feel hectic. But if you read the text well, then the understanding about the physics you will achieve isn't comparable to any other books.
Wish you a great eve!
i am in class 12 cbse. my term 2 practical is going on . my math practical is conducting by my math teacher ,they are taking calculus test as a math practical . but, i cant know calculus . know what will happen if i fail in calculus test . is my teacher fail me in math practical.
Dear Aspirant,
You can try doing the bare minimum so that you atleast pass the practical. Because if you fail, you will have to give the practical again and it can have negative impacts on your future career. Mostly teachers try to pass all students in class 12th but you have to attempt questions and give them some scope to give you marks.
How much Calculus is required for "Principles of Physics by Halliday Resnick Walker"?From which book should I learn Calculus for "Principles of Physics" assuming that I only have basic knowledge in Differentiation and Integration.
Hello, I hope you are doing well
Since you have not mentioned what college or school do you study in and for what exam you want to learn Calculus, it is quite difficult to give you precise information.
Knowing that you have the knowledge of basics of calculus, you should focus more on the problem solving and your accuracy. Learning the formulas and theoretical part would just not be enough you would have to expand your limits by doing the multiple integrals because second derivative would just not be enough. If you want to continue with the book you mentioned you will have to be familiar with the concept of maxima and minima, application of integrals, curve tracing, limits and continuous functions.
Hope this helps
