Math Review

The few questions on the SAT Physics Subject Test that require you to know
mathematics are straightforward and actually need little math beyond some algebra
and maybe a little trig. In this chapter we are going to help you brush up on some
knowledge you probably don’t use every day, such as trig and the properties of
vectors and how they are used. The material in this chapter is pretty clear-cut, so
you should know this stuff backward and forward for the test.
