How to solve a physics problem using a math triangle

The language of physics is mathematics. Basic algebra is used to solve many physics problems. The purpose of this book is to reinforce or to teach how to solve physics problems using a math triangle. The math triangle is an alternative way to set up data in a physics problem. For example, the equation for Newton’s 2nd law, which is F=ma, can be difficult to use for beginning physics students when presented in a word problem. This book teaches how to use a “circle label” method to find the data needed to solve a physics problem then place the data correctly in a math triangle to make it much easier to calculate the final answer. This book also serves as a workbook. Each section provides a physics concept and its equation in worksheet format. Each worksheet includes interactive fill in the blank sections, tables and practice problems followed by a mini quiz for each equation. The fundamentals reviewed or taught in each section include: terminology, units, and problem solving skills.
