This textbook is designed to complement graduate-level physics texts in classical mechanics, electricity, magnetism, and quantum mechanics. Organized around the central concept of a vector space, the book includes numerous physical applications in the body of the text as well as many problems of a physical nature. It is also one of the purposes of this book to introduce the physicist to the language and style of mathematics as well as the content of those particular subjects with contemporary relevance in physics.
Chapters 1 and 2 are devoted to the mathematics of classical physics. Chapters 3, 4 and 5 — the backbone of the book — cover the theory of vector spaces. Chapter 6 covers analytic function theory. In chapters 7, 8, and 9 the authors take up several important techniques of theoretical physics — the Green's function method of solving differential and partial differential equations, and the theory of integral equations. Chapter 10 introduces the theory of groups. The authors have included a large selection of problems at the end of each chapter, some illustrating or extending mathematical points, others stressing physical application of techniques developed in the text.
Essentially self-contained, the book assumes only the standard undergraduate preparation in physics and mathematics, i.e. intermediate mechanics, electricity and magnetism, introductory quantum mechanics, advanced calculus and differential equations. The text may be easily adapted for a one-semester course at the graduate or advanced undergraduate level.

The presentation is well laid out but I don’t think this text is good for self-learning. It’s enjoyable and I love that the examples and questions are generally physics related - so you don’t find yourself asking too often, “so.. why am I learning this for”? I think this textbook would be perfect if you had the help of an instructor. I’ll throw in here that my mathematical knowledge extends to 2nd year undergraduate level. So it might actually be ok for self-studying just a little outside my knowledge atm.

The best book on mathematics for applications in physics

This book was first published in 1969.
I don't understand why they cannot write like this anymore...

Difícil leitura, porém o livro é bom.

Reviewed in Brazil on 4 March 2020

É um livro avançado, geralmente para aqueles estudantes de física ou matemática que já tenham uma base prévia de cálculo, álgebra linear, e um pouco de teoria algébrica clássica: grupos etc. A forma pela qual o autor expressa o assunto por vezes passa a impressão de que o autor deixa propositalmente lacunas no raciocínio para que o leitor possa pensar por conta própria. Isso pode ser bom, para aqueles que já tenham certa experiência, mas ao mesmo tempo pode acabar desanimando um pouco o iniciante. A notação talvez seja um pouco antiquada, se formos comparar com a notação contemporânea, mas nada que torne a leitura muito difícil sob esse aspecto. O livro chegou em bom estado geral, a impressão da página deixou um pouco a desejar, mas de resto o livro está ok. A entrega foi rápida e isso é um bom diferencial da Amazon em relação a outras empresas que as vezes demoram mais do que o previsto para entregarem o produto.

Ich kann nicht aufhören, es zu lesen!

Reviewed in Germany on 16 June 2015

Verified Purchase

Erst vor zwei Wochen habe ich angefangen, dieses Buch zu lesen und es ist mir nicht gelungen, das Lesen zu unterbrechen, genauso wie es bei dem Lesen eines spannenden Romans geschieht. Der Inhalt der ersten vier Kapiteln, die ich bis jetzt in meiner Freizeit gelesen habe, ist ausgezeichnet, weil er einheitlich, angemessen theoretisch und niemals pedantisch ist.
Vektoranalyse, Variationsrechnung, Matrizen und Vektorräume haben mir viel Spaß gemacht.
Man darf aber nicht damit rechnen, dass man dieses Buch lesen kann, ohne über einen geeigneten mathematischen Hintergrund zu verfügen. Trotzdem bin ich kein Physiker. Ich habe nur eine große Leidenschaft für Physik und die Kenntnisse einer Elektroingenieur. Das alles hat mir gereicht, die ersten Kapiteln des Buches problemlos zu verfolgen, weil die Authoren eine bemerkenswerte Arbeit gemacht haben. Normalerweise warte ich bis zum Ende des Buches, um mein Urteil zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Diesmal mache ich aber eine Ausnahme, weil ich meine Begeisterung nicht bremsen kann.

Ottimo per un'introduzione all'analisi complessa

Reviewed in Italy on 2 August 2018

L'ho trovato molto utile e completo soprattutto per quanto riguarda la parte di analisi complessa. E' ricco di esempi e dimostrazioni, lo consiglio vivamente agli studenti di fisica e matematica.
