Historical touches like this are not isolated cases; the book includes a large number of notes on people and ideas, subtly reminding the student that science and mathematics are continuing and fascinating human activities.

I suppose no introductory math methods book can have everything. Series: Lecture Notes in Physics. In addition, a solutions manual to aid in self study would be nice. Or at least some answers or hints to some problems. Otherwise, a neat book. Categories: Mathematics. Need help? Please read our short guide how to send a book to Kindle.

Intended to follow the usual introductory physics courses, this book has the unique feature of addressing the mathematical needs of sophomores and juniors in physics, engineering and other related fields. Many original, lucid, and relevant examples from the physical sciences, problems at the ends of chapters, and boxes to emphasize important concepts help guide the student through the material.

Beginning with reviews of vector algebra and differential and integral calculus, the book continues with infinite series, vector analysis, complex algebra and analysis, ordinary and partial differential equations. Discussions of numerical analysis, nonlinear dynamics and chaos, and the Dirac delta function provide an introduction to modern topics in mathematical physics.

This new edition has been made more user-friendly through organization into convenient, shorter chapters. Also, it includes an entirely new section on Probability and plenty of new material on tensors and integral transforms.

Upon taking theoretical physics last year I used the "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas. While that is a fantastic book (with solutions), I find this book to build up topics in a clearer manner. This book follows the syllabus I had for that class almost to the letter, while we had to jump around a lot in Boas's book. I admit that not having any solutions to use for practice or self-study puts a damper on things, but this book is outlined so well I can't say that this book is not worth reading.

By far one of the most "easy on the eye" theoretical physics books out there, and I highly recommend it to any undergraduate who wishes to study any theoretical science.

I suppose no introductory math methods book can have everything. But this book would get six stars if it had included the matrix formulation of the eigenvalue problem with some treatment of unitary matrices. In addition, a solutions manual to aid in self study would be nice. Or at least some answers or hints to some problems. Otherwise, a neat book.

When I took undergraduate quantum mechanics 30 years ago, we learned a lot about Louis deBroglie, Max Planck, the photoelectric effect, then moved into wave functions, the Schroedinger equation, simple one-dimensional potentials and the hydrogen atom. Maybe there was a little angular momentum tossed in. It was not until graduate school that I learned much about
/X> = xi/x>
where /X> is a vector in an n-dimensional, linearly independent vector space and the xi's were its components in the basis /x>. A lot of things like representations might have made more sense. Anyway, Hassani's undergraduate text gives one an excellent view of vectors and coordinate systems. In particular, it trains one well to leap into the more abstract view of vectors one reads about in, say, R. Shankar's excellent book on quantum mechanics, and also gives one a good deal of exercise on how to translate between coordinate systems. In graduate school, I found the ability to roam between coordinate systems to be very, very handy and the laborious time spent learning it was worth it. I'm not done with this book yet. I'm now getting into his chapters on complex variables and differential equations, but Hassani's treatment of vectors and coordinate systems is very good indeed. Undergraduate physics students who plan to go on into graduate school will find time with this book well spent.

This book is for those who already aquired some knowledge in mathematical analysis, linear algebra with vectors and some introduction in complex analysis. Roughly altogether about 15 University points.
Because it's surely not teaching you key things like what limits, substitution, integrand (one page according to index), asymptotics and so on really are. That knowledge is expected of you to have.
Instead the book gives a sort of enhanced recapitulation and expansion on topics and new insights on new topics as well; what these can be used for and how to use them. This is great because the reading goes intellectually much faster and get your attention right away with the stuff you already have a working knowledge of.
The boxes are great; containing important definitions which then is accompanied with instant examples clearifying the definitions by proof or otherwise gives descriptive and explanatory content for a method or definition
Hassani's book is also well written in terms of language use.

Helps students become familiar with complex mathematics in more applications than a standard course. Not as thorough as the books covering the same material by Mary Boas. IMHO.
