Essential Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences With 510 exercises

'Problem solving skills can only be developed by solving problems, and here students can gorge on many stimulating problems ... this book can be recommended as [a] thorough, readable, mathematical methods textbook for undergraduates on a par with the book of Boas. As Paul Dirac said 'God used beautiful mathematics in creating the world', and students will not go far wrong by beginning their journey into mathematical physics here.' C. A.
