You're right. However I'm concerned with the trend in academic maths that's put into an aerospace engineering course. The kind of questions we need to prepare for the test involves churning our mind to prove an eqn is right assuming the validity of a given condition. I don't see any link btwn...
I've got mathematics as one of the courses in my engineering programme. I love maths. However i don't enjoy working my guts out to ''if...then prove that...'' problems which are kind of brain teasers and brain teasers only. Their solutions often involve leibniz's rule of higher order derivative...
Thank you very much PAllen for going through the pictures painstakingly and your analytic replies which are being highly appreciated here. I've understood your explanation which clarified most of my doubts in this context.The remaining is being put as follows.
The flaw you found in my statement...
In his book 'Concepts of MODERN PHYSICS', Chapter 1, Section 1.7, page# 22to 24, Arthur Beiser tries to derive an equation for relativistic momentum, which he finally does. But I found the situation considered by him inappropriate so is with the way he deals with it.
Can anyone please tell me...
