Why is mathematical problem solving not a major feature of this book?
The reason for not including mathematical problem as a major feature in the book.
Answer to Problem 3RQ
Mathematics is the best tool for analysis of scientific facts, but it is a poor substitute for learning the concept. So first learn the concept, then using mathematics to reinforce what has been inserted.
Explanation of Solution
Mathematics should be used as an important tool to solve the problems in science. It is very necessary that the learner has clear ideas about the subject and what the person is going to study.
While mathematics provides an excellent tool for analysis of scientific facts, it serves as a poor replacement for learning the concepts. Hence, the emphasis is placed in this book on learning the concept first and then using mathematics to reinforce what has been inserted.
Conclusion:
Therefore, Mathematics is the best tool for analysis of scientific facts, but it is a poor substitute for learning the concept. So first learn the concept, then using mathematics to reinforce what has been inserted.
