In STEM, you’ll run into situations where you’ll need to do large volumes of tedious calculations—like computing standard deviations for large data sets in lab or doing a full page of algebra manipulations for an integral. These calculations aren’t necessarily difficult but long and busy; so unless you’re in math class or told to compute it by hand, its important to use software to calculate the solution in a fraction of the time.

There are many different software programs you can use but familiarize yourself with at least Microsoft Excel since that requires no coding background and is standard practice everywhere.

Remember, math serves science—not the other way around.

Video: How to Read Equations in Math & Science

Thank you all for attending my first-ever live webinar 2 weeks ago covering ‘How to Read Equations in Math and Science’! I appreciate each of you for donating time out of your night to strengthen your understanding of math and science by learning how to read equations as relationships between variables!

In this webinar, we went over common issues surrounding traditional algebra education along with ways to read common equations seen in science like linear momentum, kinetic energy, and the ideal gas equation. We also discussed strategies for plotting these equations in order to gain a stronger intuition of their meaning.

The hardest part about math isn’t the raw calculations: it’s understanding what the math means when rearranging and graphing functions. Most students aren’t trained to interpret the math from a qualitative perspective which is why many students who are ‘good at math’ struggle in introductory chemistry, physics, and engineering courses.

That’s why I’ve created the Ultimate Algebra Guide for Science & Engineering Majors which covers all of the relevant concepts from algebra, trigonometry, and precalculus courses that are applicable for science & engineering majors condensed into a 700+ page guide!
