Mathematical Methods for Physicists, Fourth Edition,Used
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This new and completely revised Fourth Edition provides thorough coverage of the important mathematics needed for upperdivision and graduate study in physics and engineering. Following more than 28 years of successful classtesting, Mathematical Methods for Physicists is considered the standard text on the subject.A new chapter on nonlinear methods and chaos is included, as are revisions of the differential equations and complex variables chapters. The entire book has been made even more accessible, with special attention given to clarity, completeness, and physical motivation. It is an excellent reference apart from its course use.This revised Fourth Edition includes:Modernized terminologyGroup theoretic methods brought together and expanded in a new chapterAn entirely new chapter on nonlinear mathematical physicsSignificant revisions of the differential equations and complex variables chaptersMany new or improved exercisesForty new or improved figuresAn update of computational techniques for today's contemporary tools, such as microcomputers, Numerical Recipes, and Mathematica(r), among others
