Only use Calculus when its needed.

Calculus is extremely important in science because it describes how a function changes continuously—which means nearly everything involving dynamics will involve calculus.

But what’s even more important is knowing WHEN to use calculus because that requires you to understand when a quantity is changing or constant.

Like all other math, calculus is a tool for us to understand and map relationships better in science—so if you want to apply calculus correctly, you must understand the science first.

Coming Soon: How to Understand Physics as a Science!

Because physics is the most fundamental science, its laws can be described using highly accurate and highly specific mathematical equations that map cleanly onto reality. However, most people struggle in introductory physics courses because it’s laws—such as Newton’s second law and conservation of momentum—are introduced as equations to solve problems before being properly understood and read as statements about nature.

And because most physics curriculums emphasize problem-solving before intuition, that leaves most students—even the best ones—unsure about what they’re calculating.

That’s why I’m building a guide which focuses on teaching physics intuitively as a science so that students can understand how to read equations as statements of nature and graph them so that they understand what to do when they run into a new practice problem.

Once you understand the science, you can solve any unique practice problem.

Version 1 Coming Soon!

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!
