Description: Introduction to Mathematical Physics explains why and how mathematics is needed in describing physical events in space. It helps physics undergraduates master the mathematical tools needed in physics core courses. It contains advanced topics for graduate students, short tutorials on basic mathematics, and an appendix on Mathematica.
Review Quotes: "This book gathers together in one place both standard and advanced topics on mathematical methods in physics. As such, it will be of use to both researchers and students in theoretical physics, as well as university-level lecturers who may wish to use it as a textbook. The second edition expands on the set of problems of the first edition, and includes new material on special relativity and chaos. It covers a broad spectrum of topics that will be of enormous use to theoretical physicists." -- Richard J. Szabo, School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Heriot-Watt University
