ON THE APPLICATION OF GEOMETRY TO SOLVING PHYSICAL PROBLEMS

Abstract

The article is of an applied nature and deals with one of the most difficult issues of modern mathematics, as well as for the assimilation of students – it is the application of geometric apparatus to solving applied problems. The authors focus on the application of geometric methods in solving problems of elementary physics. This method allows to solve physical problems using ready-made formulas by direct calculation, elementary calculations. The choice of these formulae is obviously dictated by conditions of the task and its requirements. This is the unusual simplicity of this method in comparison with coordinate, vector and other methods used in geometry and sometimes requiring considerable ingenuity and lengthy searches from the decider, although the finished solution may be very short. The considered material was implemented in a specific educational process in practical classes at the university and allowed to increase the efficiency of the assimilation of the studied material by students.
