2. Mathematics is the language of Physics
Equations are statements about relationships between measureable quantities
Graphs are an important tool for analyzing and presenting data
Allowing us to relationships that could be expressed with an equation.
Knowing mathematical symbols, constants, variables and measure abbreviations.

5. Useful mathematical tools
Dimensional Analysis can catch “the wrong equation”
After canceling units you should get the right units (Copy Example)
Order of magnitude estimation can help catch errors
Example: 725 km ∕ 8.8 hours should be about…
10³/101 = 10² or
100
