Description
Mathematics for Physicists provides a thorough background in the mathematics needed to understand advanced topics in physics and engineering. The authors develop theoretical material at length, making it highly readable and intuitive, with concrete examples to illustrate abstract concepts. The notation used is that of physicists, and more specialized subjects are presented in small print, allowing readers to easily omit them or assign them to more ambitious students. Topics covered include the theory of analytic functions, linear vector spaces and operators, orthogonal expansions, and special functions such as series solutions and Green's functions. This comprehensive collection of mathematical material is invaluable for anyone looking to increase their knowledge of the underlying theories and techniques in physics.
