THE RELEVANCE OF MATHEMATICS TO LEARNING OF PHYSICS IN SECONDARY SCHOO…

ABSTRACT     

Mathematics is an essential part of Physics. It plays an important role in physics research as well as in learning physics. It can be a useful tool or a barrier too high to overcome for some of our students. Only recently this aspect of learning physics has been given more attention. The study presented here makes a contribution to this field of research by providing a view on the relevance of mathematics in (learning) physics.  To know about relevance of mathematics in learning physics secondary school students and physics teacher have been surveyed.
