Book Description

This book provides a text for a first-year graduate level course in mathematical methods.

Advanced undergraduates and graduate students in the natural sciences will receive a solid foundation in several fields of mathematics with this text. Topics include vector spaces and matrices; orthogonal functions; polynomial equations; asymptotic expansions; ordinary differential equations; conformal mapping; and extremum problems. Includes exercises and solutions.

• Herbert S. Wilf is the Thomas A. Scott Professor of Mathematics at the University of Pennsylvania. In 1998 he received the Leroy P. Steele Prize for Seminal Contribution to Research, awarded by the American Mathematical Society, and in 1996 he was awarded the Deborah and Franklin Tepper Haimo Award for Distinguished College or University Teaching of mathematics.

• Mathematics for the Physical Sciences (Leslie Copley)

  This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the areas of mathematical physics. It combines all the essential math concepts into clearly written reference and illustrates the mathematics with numerous physical examples drawn from contemporary research.

• Mathematical Methods for Physicists (George B. Arfken, et al.)

  Provides aspiring engineers and scientists with key insights into mathematical concepts that they may need to understand as elementary readers. The first chapter covers all the vital concepts needed by the readers to understand the latter chapters.

• Mathematical Tools for Physics (James Nearing)

  This book helps physics students learn to take an informed and intuitive approach to solving problems. It assists undergraduates in developing their skills and provides them with grounding in important mathematical methods.

• Mathematical Methods in Quantum Mechanics (Gerald Teschl)

  This book is a brief, but self-contained, introduction to the mathematical methods of quantum mechanics, with a view towards applications to Schrodinger operators. Very clear and detailed way and supplements it by numerous exercises.

• Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Theory

  This is a collection of lecture notes, all shared a common interest in answering quantum issues. The goal is to give a mathematically clear and self-containing explanation of the main concepts of the modern language of quantum theory.

• Linear Algebra: A Course for Physicists and Engineers (Arak Mathai)

  This textbook on linear algebra is written to be easy to digest by non-mathematicians. It introduces the concepts of vector spaces and mappings between them without too much theorems and proofs. Various applications of the formal theory are discussed as well.

• Probability and Statistics: A Course for Physicists and Engineers

  It offers an introduction to concepts of probability theory, probability distributions relevant in the applied sciences, and focuses on real engineering applications, as well as basics of sampling distributions, estimation and hypothesis testing.

• Mathematics for Machine Learning (Marc P. Deisenroth, et al.)

  This self contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites. It provides a beautiful exposition of the mathematics underpinning modern machine learning.

• Mathematics for CS and Machine Learning (Jean Gallier, et al.)

  Covering everything you need to know about machine learning, now you can master the mathematics, computer science and statistics behind this field and develop your very own neural networks!
