Essential Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences

Beschreibung

The mathematical methods that physical scientists need for solving problems are clearly set out in this tutorial-style textbook. It develops problem-solving skills through hundreds of worked examples, self-test questions and homework problems. Solutions to odd-numbered problems are given in a Student Solutions Manual, with all solutions available at www.cambridge.org/essential.

Autor

K. F. Riley read mathematics at the University of Cambridge and proceeded to a Ph.D. there in theoretical and experimental nuclear physics. He became a Research Associate in elementary particle physics at Brookhaven, and then, having taken up a lectureship at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge, continued this research at the Rutherford Laboratory and Stanford; in particular he was involved in the experimental discovery of a number of the early baryonic resonances. As well as having been Senior Tutor at Clare College, where he has taught physics and mathematics for over 40 years, he has served on many committees concerned with the teaching and examining of these subjects at all levels of tertiary and undergraduate education. He is also one of the authors of 200 Puzzling Physics Problems.
