Mathematical physics

Going beyond standard mathematical physics textbooks by integrating the mathematics with the associated physical content, this book presents mathematical topics with their applications to physics as well as basic physics topics linked to mathematical techniques. It is aimed at first-year graduate students, it is much more concise and discusses selected topics in full without omitting any steps. It covers the mathematical skills needed throughout common graduate level courses in physics and features around 450 end-of-chapter problems, with solutions available to lecturers from the Wiley website. Discusses in detail the mathematical skills needed throughout common graduate level courses in physics Integrates the mathematics with the associated physical content, providing a new standard in mathematical physics textbooks Features approximately 450 end-of-chapter problems, with free solutions available to lecturers from the Wiley-VCH website.
