520 ^aMathematical physics provides physical theories with theirlogical basis and the tools for drawing conclusions fromhypotheses. This book explains to the reader why and howmathematics is needed in the description of physicalevents in space. For undergraduates in physics, it is aclassroom-tested textbook on vector analysis, linearoperators, Fourier series and integrals, differentialequations, special functions and functions of a complexvariable. Strongly correlated with core undergraduatecourses on classical and quantum mechanics andelectromagnetism, it helps the student master thesenecessary mathematical skills. It contains advanced topicsof interest to graduate students on relativistic square-root spaces and nonlinear systems. It contains many tablesof mathematical formulas and references to usefulmaterials on the Internet. It includes short tutorials onbasic mathematical topics to help readers refresh theirmathematical knowledge. An appendix on Mathematicsencourages the reader to use computer-aided algebra tosolve problems in mathematical physics
