Chapter 1 is catch-up for all the math you need but probably don't know yet.
Contents
1.1 Vector Algebra
This covers how vectors behave.
1.2 Differential Calculus
This covers how derivatives are done in multiple dimensions.
1.3 Integral Calculus
This covers how integrals are done in multiple dimensions.
1.4 Curvilinear Coordinates
Oftentimes, problems can be solved by looking at them in a different coordinate system. This is often spherical or cylindrical coordinate systems.
1.5 The Dirac Delta Function
This naughty function is actually really useful.
1.6 The Theory of Vector Fields
As you learn about Electrodynamics, you will begin to see that it's better to look at fields rather than forces.
