Mathematical Methods Of Theoretical Physics

by Karl Svozil

Overview

'This book could serve either as a good reference to remind students about what they have seen in their completed courses or as a starting point to show what needs more investigation. Svozil (Vienna Univ. of Technology) offers a very thorough text that leaves no mathematical area out, but it is best described as giving a synopsis of each application and how it relates to other areas … The text is organized well and provides a good reference list. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and graduate students.'
CHOICEThis book contains very explicit proofs and demonstrations through examples for a comprehensive introduction to the mathematical methods of theoretical physics. It also combines and unifies many expositions of this subject, suitable for readers with interest in experimental and applied physics.
