The third edition of this highly acclaimed undergraduate textbook is suitable for teaching all the mathematics ever likely to be needed for an undergraduate course in any of the physical sciences. As well as lucid descriptions of all the topics covered and many worked examples, it contains more than 800 exercises.
A number of additional topics have been included and the text has undergone significant reorganisation in some areas. New stand-alone chapters:
- Give a systematic account of the ‘special functions’ of physical science
- Cover an extended range of practical applications of complex variables including WKB methods and saddle-point integration techniques
- Provide an introduction to quantum operators.
