In Science, you’ll run into various laws or theorems that are defined through equations such as Newton’s second law, Ohm’s law, and the Ideal Gas law. The most obvious first instinct would be to plug in the known values and solve for the unknowns but its important to take a step back and interpret what the equation physically means.

These equations define relationships between different quantities with the equal sign (=) indicating how an output depends on its input. Constants are included as parameters to ensure that the units remain the same on both sides.

It’s important to understand how to read equations because that skill automatically puts you ahead of 90% of your class and is necessary in research. If you’re confused on how to read equations in math & science, check out my free video showing you how to do so.

Video: How to Read Equations in Math & Science

Thank you all for attending my first-ever live webinar last week 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!
