Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences
By Mary L. Boas
Second Edition, Hardcover
Size (Roughly): 24.5 x 17 x 3 centimeters.
Book sold by "Goldstone Books UK" on Amazon.
Announced in "Good" condition with the next description: All orders are dispatched daily by Priority Airmail. Established in 2004. No quibble refund if not completely satisfied.
The book was in bad shape when I got it, It has been properly repaired by a professional (I took it a public library and paid for it). Now it's in great shape. All pages were cleans and have little marks on them.
The content of the book is an standard on mathematical methods covers from infinite series (power series) a chapter on the basic of complex numbers (not complex analysis), basic of vectors and linear algebra, functions of multivariable (partial differentiation and multiple variable integrals), Fourier Analysis, Ordinary Differential Equations, basic tensor analysis.
Euler's Beta and Gamma functions, Stirling's Formula for a natural log of a factorial of large numbers; series solutions to differential equations where it includes Legendre and Bessel Equations and Polynomials (or functions in Bessel's case), partial differential equations than it goes back to functions of complex variable to concluded on integral equations an one chapter on probability.
At the end of the text there are answers to selected problems.
Great book to start studying this subjects at the Undergraduate level. However the lack of advanced methods, special functions like Chebyshev, Legendre, Laguerre; topics like Hilbert Spaces and operators on this spaces, Dirac notation, Green's function, Differential Geometry, Group Theory, Lie Groups and Lie Algebras, Symmetries groups, Poincare Groups etc etc etc make this book not the perfect mathematical methods today.
You'll need other text to cover this topics if you plan on studying a postgraduate in physics so keep that in mind.
