A Course in Mathematical Methods for Physicists

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on the author's junior-level undergraduate course, this classroom-tested textbook is designed for an introductory course in mathematical physics. Focusing on the physics of oscillations and waves, it helps students understand the mathematical techniques needed for their future studies in physics. The book introduces the methods while studying one underlying theme from physics. It takes a bottom-up approach that emphasizes physical applications of the mathematics.
