The CWT premise is that physics should motivate math study, and I'm
happy with the examples from mechanics and circuit theory in the books.
But, what about the rest of physics? I gave that subject considerable
thought ... and have added pages to the website at

www.berkeleyscience.com

on the following subjects....

The Wave Equation - the wave equation describes ocean waves, sound
waves, and light ... a landmark equation in physics ....

An Aircraft Simulator .... ever wonder how flight simulators work?
Here it is.

Maxwell's Equations .... after Newton, whose equations contain
everything there is to know about mechanics, the big thing in physics
was Maxwell and his four equations which contain everything there is to
know about electricity, magnetism, and electromagnetic radiation !!!

Relativity ... after Maxwell came Einstein's Special Theory of
Relativity ..... suprisingly all the math you need is the Pythagorean
theorem.... plus some careful thinking...... this is big fun.....

Check these pages out .... email me or the group with questions,
comments...


Also, I have an errata sheet for CWT Vol. 3 .... email me for a copy...
proofreader must have taken a day or two off.
