About this title

Synopsis

Based on practical work with mathematical physics done in the Physics Department of Moscow State University, this outstanding text by three of the Faculty's distinguished members focuses on a wide range of problems. Chapters are divided according to the method of solution — thereby giving students the opportunity, through independent work, to gain elementary problem-solving skills where mathematical physics equations are concerned.
In addition, there is a supplement devoted to the special coordinate systems of mathematical physics, together with a section devoted to special functions.
Designed not only for students but for engineers and research workers, this volume includes an exceptionally useful selection of problems, a number of which are accompanied by detailed instructions and solutions.
