(Mathematical physics provides physical theories with thei...)
Mathematical physics provides physical theories with their logical basis and the tools for drawing conclusions from hypotheses. Introduction to Mathematical Physics explains to the reader why and how mathematics is needed in the description of physical events in space. For undergraduates in physics, it is a classroom-tested textbook on vector analysis, linear operators, Fourier series and integrals, differential equations, special functions and functions of a complex variable. Strongly correlated with core undergraduate courses on classical and quantum mechanics and electromagnetism, it helps the student master these necessary mathematical skills. It contains advanced topics of interest to graduate students on relativistic square-root spaces and nonlinear systems. It contains many tables of mathematical formulas and references to useful materials on the Internet. It includes short tutorials on basic mathematical topics to help readers refresh their mathematical knowledge. An appendix on Mathematica encourages the reader to use computer-aided algebra to solve problems in mathematical physics.

Designed as a reference as well as a junior- or senior-level textbook, this book is designed to help physics undergraduates acquire an appreciation of the mathematical basis of physical theories and achieve the expected level of competence in mathematical manipulations. It comprises topics prerequisite to the study of the standard undergraduate courses in physics, and topics for advanced students, including vector calculus, matrices, and Fourier series and transforms.
