Title: Mathematical physics
First published: 1999
Description: This book is for physics students interested in the mathematics they use and for mathematics students interested in seeing how some of the ideas of their discipline find realization in an applied setting. The presentation tries to strike a balance between formalism and application, between abstract and concrete.

The interconnections among the various topics are clarified both by the use of vector spaces as a central unifying theme, recurring throughout the book, and by putting ideas into their historical context. Enough of the essential formalism is included to make the presentation self-contained.

Intended for advanced undergraduate or beginning graduate students, this comprehensive guide should also prove useful as a refresher or reference for physicists and applied mathematicians. Over 300 worked-out examples and more than 800 problems provide valuable learning aids.
Subjects: Mathematical physics, Physics, Mathematics, Mathematical and Computational Physics Theoretical, Mathematical Methods in Physics, Numerical and Computational Physics, Applications of Mathematics
