Kim Je-wan: Mathematics and Physics

Mathematics for Physical Studies, which refers to the parts of mathematics frequently utilized in engineering and physics, is an important course that must be taken by students in these fields. It can be likened to an aspiring novelist not knowing how to write properly for a major in engineering or physics to a student lacking a strong understanding of mathematics. In other words, mathematics can be considered the fundamental language for expressing physics; to understand and utilize physics or engineering, one must be able to use parts of mathematics freely, as if they were a convenient tool. It is said that even the world-renowned physicist Albert Einstein diligently studied "Riemannian space theory" while establishing his theory of relativity. Even without citing a genius like Einstein, there are quite a few researchers in engineering or physics who possess high mathematical proficiency, because mathematics is used significantly as a crucial tool in research within these science and engineering disciplines. This book compiles only the parts of the vast knowledge of mathematics—often called the "queen of all disciplines"—that are utilized in engineering and physics, and is structured to enable science and engineering students to study mathematics more easily and efficiently. Excluding pure mathematical proofs and focusing solely on the strengths of mathematics, this course emphasizes how it is effectively applied in fields such as engineering and physics. Furthermore, by fundamentally understanding the principles and essence of many seemingly complex and difficult formulas and theories—specifically the purposes for which they were created and how they are utilized—it provides the motivation to actively explore knowledge.
