For students who are already fluent with single-variable derivatives and integrals, this workbook offers practice with essential skills from multivariable calculus (including vector calculus). Each chapter begins with a review of the essential ideas and includes fully solved examples to help serve as a guide. The full solution to every exercise can be found at the back of the book. Authored by experienced teacher, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., this self-study math workbook covers: partial derivatives, extreme values with multiple variables (including saddle points), vectors, vector analysis (such as the dot and cross products), vector calculus, the gradient, divergence, the curl, the main coordinate systems (Cartesian, 2D polar, spherical, and cylindrical), path integrals, surface integrals, volume integrals, flux integrals, center of mass, moment of inertia, tangent and normal vectors, and more. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for solving calculus problems with multiple variables or vectors.

Learn and practice essential geometry skills. The answer to every problem, along with helpful notes, can be found at the back of the book. This volume focuses on fundamental concepts relating to circles, including chords, secants, tangents, and inscribed/circumscribed polygons. Topics include: radius, diameter, circumference, and area; chords, secants, and tangents; sectors vs. segments; inscribed and circumscribed shapes; the arc length formula; degrees and radians; inscribed angles; Thales's theorem; and an introduction to 3D objects, including the cube, prism, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, and cone. The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this workbook of the Improve Your Math Fluency series to share his strategies for solving geometry problems and formulating proofs.

Learn and practice essential geometry skills. The answer to every problem, along with helpful notes, can be found at the back of the book. This volume focuses on fundamental concepts relating to triangles, and also covers quadrilaterals and other polygons. Topics include: lines, angles, and transversals; angles of a triangle; congruent triangles; similar triangles and ratiosright triangles, including the Pythagorean theorem and special triangles; perimeter and area of a triangle, including Heron's formula; thorough coverage of bisectors, medians, and altitudes, including the incenter, circumcenter, centroid, and orthocenter (though the concepts of inscribed or circumscribed circles are reserved for Volume 2); the triangle inequality; quadrilaterals; and polygons.

The author, Chris McMullen, Ph.D., has over twenty years of experience teaching math skills to physics students. He prepared this comprehensive workbook (with full solutions to every problem) to share his strategies for mastering calculus. This workbook covers a variety of essential calculus skills, of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithms; the chain rule, product rule, and quotient rule; second derivatives; how to find the extreme values of a function; limits, including l’Hopital’s rule; antiderivatives of polynomials, trig functions, exponentials, and logarithms; definite and indefinite integrals; techniques of integration, including substitution, trig sub, and integration by parts; multiple integrals. The goal of this workbook isn’t to cover every possible topic from calculus, but to focus on the most essential skills needed to apply calculus to other subjects, such as physics or engineering.
