How To Navigate This Text
This text is designed to provide an introduction to some of the foundations of wave phenomena. Each of these foundational concepts has been given its own module, below. Prerequisite modules have been identified on each page, which may be used to better understand the concept at hand. In addition, you will find supplemental information, problem sets, and links to appendices where appropriate. Finally, each module also contains a comment field that you may use to ask questions of, or start discussions with the author or other readers of the text.
Please follow links to the left for more information about this text and how to use it.

Taylor’s Theorem and Taylor Series (Appendix A)
Charles G. Torre
Taylor’s theorem and Taylor’s series constitute one of the more important tools used by mathematicians, physicists and engineers. They provides a means of approximating a function in terms of polynomials.

Vector Spaces (Appendix B)
Charles G. Torre
Throughout this text we have noted that various objects of interest form a vector space. Here we outline the basic structure of a vector space. You may find it useful to refer to this Appendix when you encounter this concept in the text.
