Mathematical methods for physicists : a comprehensive guide

By: George B. ArfkenContributor(s): Hans J. Weber | Frank E. HarrisMaterial type: TextTextPublication details: U.S.A.: Academic Press, [c2013]Edition: 7th edDescription: 1205 pISBN: 978-0-12-384654-9Subject(s): MathematicsLOC classification: QA37.3. A74
Contents:
Chapter 1 - Mathematical Preliminaries Chapter 2 - Determinants and Matrices Chapter 3 - Vector Analysis Chapter 4 - Tensors and Differential Forms Chapter 5 - Vector Spaces Chapter 6 - Eigenvalue Problems Chapter 7 - Ordinary Differential Equations Chapter 8 - Sturm-Liouville Theory Chapter 9 - Partial Differential Equations Chapter 10 - Green's Functions Chapter 11 - Complex Variable Theory Chapter 12 - Further Topics in Analysis Chapter 13 - Gamma Function Chapter 14 - Bessel Functions Chapter 15 - Legendre Functions Chapter 16 - Angular Momentum Chapter 17 - Group Theory Chapter 18 - More Special Functions Chapter 19 - Fourier Series Chapter 20 - Integral Transforms Chapter 21 - Integral Equations Chapter 22 - Calculus of Variations Chapter 23 - Probability and Statistics
Summary: Now in its 7th edition, Mathematical Methods for Physicists continues to provide all the mathematical methods that aspiring scientists and engineers are likely to encounter as students and beginning researchers. This bestselling text provides mathematical relations and their proofs essential to the study of physics and related fields. While retaining the key features of the 6th edition, the new edition provides a more careful balance of explanation, theory, and examples. Taking a problem-solving-skills approach to incorporating theorems with applications, the book's improved focus will help students succeed throughout their academic careers and well into their professions. Some notable enhancements include more refined and focused content in important topics, improved organization, updated notations, extensive explanations and intuitive exercise sets, a wider range of problem solutions, improvement in the placement, and a wider range of difficulty of exercises. --- summary provided by publisher
