Methods of Mathematical Physics (Cambridge Mathematical Library)
Editorial Reviews
Review
From reviews of the first edition: 'There must be very few major techniques in theoretical physics which are not explained here and illustrated by some genuine examples. It remains, and is likely to continue for many years, an almost indispensable work of reference for anyone attempting research in theoretical physics.' Proceedings of the Physical Society
'The most important single book on the applied mathematician's or theoretical physicist's bookshelf.' British Journal of Applied Physics
'This outstandingly excellent mathematical treatise ... The work is a fine product of British mathematical scholarship, and a benefaction to the cause of progress in natural philosophy.' Nature
Book Description
This well-known text and reference contains an account of those mathematical methods that have applications in at least two branches of physics. The authors give examples of the practical use of the methods taken from a wide range of physics, including dynamics, hydrodynamics, elasticity, electromagnetism, heat conduction, wave motion and quantum theory. They pay particular attention to the conditions under which theorems hold. Helpful exercises accompany each chapter.
