The Vector Calculus Bridge Project: do not read if u hebt math & physics

Message Bookmarked

So a married couple at Oregon State University- he is a mathematician, she a physicist- have written some papers, books and have a website discussing the subtleties of the different ways that mathematicians and physicists or other scientists use and think about vector calculus, or calculus of one variable for that matter, and discuss the advantages and disadvantages, pedagogic and otherwise, of these various approaches. He has also written a book on Special Relativity and an undergraduate (!) book on General Relativity. What I've seen so far of this stuff is very promising.

Main website is here: http://math.oregonstate.edu/bridge/
Wiki version of Vector Calculus book is here: http://math.oregonstate.edu/BridgeBook/
Papers are here: http://math.oregonstate.edu/bridge/papers/
His publications, including wiki versions of various books are here: http://people.oregonstate.edu/~drayt/cv/pubs.html
Her (education) publications are here: http://www.physics.orst.edu/~corinne/Myhomepages/pepubs.html

I already spammed the rolling math thread and one other physics thread and got no takers so starting this standalone.

Calculus is what I know. Calculus is what I do. Happy to help.

Can you compute tan(10^100)?

Reading this now. Interesting project!

It's pretty sweet.
