Synopsis

Designed as a reference as well as a junior- or senior-level textbook, this book is designed to help physics undergraduates acquire an appreciation of the mathematical basis of physical theories and achieve the expected level of competence in mathematical manipulations. It comprises topics prerequisite to the study of the standard undergraduate courses in physics, and topics for advanced students, including vector calculus, matrices, and Fourier series and transforms.

From the Back Cover

This book is based on lecture notes for two undergraduate courses on mathematical methods of physics that I have given at UCLA during the past twenty years. Most of the introductory topics in each chapter have been used at one time or another in these courses. The first of these courses was intended to be a beginning junior course to be taken before the physics core courses, while the second was an elective course for seniors.
