Mathematical Methods for Physicists

This new and completely revised Fourth Edition provides thorough coverage of the important mathematics needed for upper-division, graduate, and professional study in physics and engineering. Following more than 28 years of successful class-testing, 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.Arfken, George B. is the author of 'Mathematical Methods for Physicists' with ISBN 9780120598151 and ISBN 0120598159.
