Abstract

This research is motivated by the low ability of students to apply mathematical solving methods to analytic physics. The purpose of this research is to show the implementation of small term reduction in Taylor series on analytic physics problems. The analytical physics material described in this study is the pendulum oscillation material, heat conduction and the perturbation quantum state function. This research method involves a mathematical derivation of the Taylor series formation. The epicenter of the idea of reducing the Taylor series in this study is the use of very small terms in the Taylor series to reduce terms with values reaching towards zero, namely the third term and the fourth term. This small term reduction method is spread into problems of mechanics, oscillations, heat, electricity, magnetism and quantum mechanics. The results of this study show that after using the small term reduction principle, the equations to be solved are like first-order and second-order differential equations. By solving these equations we get a variable physical quantity.
