Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering

Now in its third edition, Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering continues to establish itself as an essential undergraduate resource for courses in the physical sciences. With clear and concise explanations accompanied by numerous worked examples, this textbook covers all the major mathematical techniques needed for a solid foundation in the subject. The book presents over 800 exercises, with a significant portion offering hints and answers. New independent chapters provide a thorough treatment of the special functions integral to physical science applications, expand on the practical use of complex variables, and introduce key concepts in quantum operators. Additional tables relevant to statistics and numerical integration further enhance the book's utility. A separate manual, available to both students and instructors, contains complete worked solutions for many of the exercises, while the remaining problems are ideal for unaided practice and homework assignments. This edition is an indispensable tool for anyone looking to master mathematical methods in the context of physics and engineering.
