Opis

Provides mathematical tools and techniques used to solve problems in physics. This work covers the mathematics necessary for advanced study in physics and engineering. It includes differential forms and the elegant forms of Maxwell's equations, and a chapt

Recenzje

"As to a comparison with other books of the same ilk, well, in all honesty, there are none. No other text on methods of mathematical physics is as comprehensive and as complete..." --Tristan Hubsch, Howard University
