A Guided Tour of Mathematical Methods : For the Physical Sciences
Editorial Reviews
Review
From reviews of the first edition: '... a splendid book, quite a delight to see mathematical models from a different perspective ... treatment is so smooth that it is hard to know at any instant whether one is learning new tools or assimilating the applications to interesting examples ... excellent.' Donald de Cogan, International Journal of Numerical Modelling
'... instructive, applied and fun.' David Jefferies, The Times Higher Education Supplement
'This book integrates mathematical theory with a wide range of applications in physics ... it could be a stand-alone textbook for an upper-year undergraduate course, but would also provide a good accompaniment to undergraduate maths courses. Teachers may also be more generally interested in this book for its many examples that may serve as useful supplements to physics or geophysics courses ... I can highly recommend this book to students and teachers in the physical sciences.' Mike Kendall, Astronomy & Geophysics
Book Description
In contrast to traditional textbooks for students and professionals in the physical sciences, this book presents its material in the form of problems. The second edition contains new chapters on dimensional analysis, variational calculus, and the asymptotic evaluation of integrals. The book can be used by undergraduates and lower-level graduate students. It can serve as a stand-alone text, or as a source of problems and examples to complement other textbooks. First Edition Hb (2001): 0-521-78241-4 First Edition Pb (2001): 0-521-78751-3
