Principles of Mathematical Physics

About The Book The Book attempts to impart a thorough and comprehensive knowledge to the students pursuing BSc (Hons.), Msc, B.E. and M.E. courses under all leading universities in india and abroad. Various questions and problems set in different Indian universities and competitive examinations like GATE, AMIETE, etc. have been selected so as to make the reader familiar with the type of questions usually set therein. Apart from that objective type questions, short answer type questions and broad answer type questions have been added at the end of each chapter so as to judge the depth of understanding of the subject by the students.
