The purpose of this book is to show students of both math and physics the deep relationship between the areas of physics and calculus. In particular:

a) How calculus can deepen our understanding of the physical concepts

b) How calculus can link together two or more seemingly unrelated physical concepts

c) How calculus can be used to help us apply physical concepts to technology

d) How calculus provides a mechanism to do physics in alternative ways

Because many students might be seeing calculus for the first time, a basic 100-page Calculus Primer has been included in the text immediately following the applications. The Calculus Primer focuses on giving the students a crash course in how to calculate a derivative and an integral quickly, rather than on the deep rigor taught in many calculus courses. Formal mathematical language has been intentionally avoided to help students acquire this useful tool as quickly as possible. Because this material is being included in a physics application book rather than a calculus course, the Calculus Primer includes exercises with full solutions. These step-by-step solutions are important since many students will attempt to learn this material on their own. So that the student can immediately see if he/she has executed the calculus correctly using the given rules and algorithms, the solutions have intentionally been left in an unsimplified form.
