This chapter covers a few basic areas of physics and mathematics that are important for science and engineering, namely, temperature, force, pressure, and some general algebra/statistics concepts. Why are these areas so important? Because they govern the physical world and how many things work or behave. Understanding of these tools can provide the background to ways of improving life, increasing energy efficiency, improving products, increasing safety, and other innumerable facets of life. ...
