This is a list of the math
concepts that you should be familiar with for literacy when it comes to reading
general physical oceanographic literature. If any of this gives you pause,
please come to the math tutorial sessions, listen and ask. Math concepts will
be taught using examples from physical oceanography/fluid mechanics.
Math tutorials: Channing Prend (cprend at ucsd.edu) and
Paul Chamberlain (pchamber at ucsd.edu)
Recommended reading:
Chapter on vector analysis in any standard Applied Mathematics textbook
(usually one year past calculus).
Calculus book
Advanced calculus book
Wolfram Mathworld:
excellent notes and tutorials
Wikipedia entries on these
subjects are good, although caution should always be exercised when using
Wikipedia.
