School Mathematics Project Staff - School Mathematics Project 16-19: Modelling with Force and Motion ebook PDF, MOBI, FB2
9780521408912 0521408911 The aim of 16-19 Mathematics has been to produce a course which, while chaallenging, is accessible and enjoyable to all students. The course develops ability and confidence in mathematics and its applications, together with an appreciation of how mathematical ideas help in the understanding of the world and society in which we live. The unit: - helps develop an ability to use the concepts introduced in Newton's laws of motion to study projectiles, forces, circular motion at constant speed, and statics of rigid bodies; - provides insight into the potential of mathematics for modelling physical phenomena; - helps foster an appreciation of the links between mathematics and the real world; - develops a basis for further study in engineering and science; - fosters an ability to model both in familiar and unfamiliar contexts within the field of mechanics., This textbook is part of the A-level 16-19 School Mathematics Project course. These materials have been developed with the aim of providing a sixth form course which carries forward the changes in mathematics teaching embodied in GCSE. The main principles behind the course are as follows: students are involved in developing mathematical ideas; premature abstraction and over-reliance on algorithms are avoided; appropriate use is made of technological advances, eg. graphics calculators or computers with a graph plotting facility; and misunderstandings are confronted and cleared up. The course is designed to be flexible enough to provide for the whole range of students who obtain at least grade C at GCSE.
