Publisher's Summary:
After more than 28 years of successful class-testing, Mathematical Methods for Physicists is considered the standard text on the subject This edition provides thorough coverage of the important mathematics needed for upper-division and graduate study in physics and engineering. A new chapter on non-linear methods and chaos is included, as are revisions of the differential equations and complex variables chapters. Features: * This revised Fourth Edition includes: * Modernized technology * Group theoretic methods brought together and expanded in a new chapter * An entirely new chapter on nonlinear mathematical physics * Significant revisions of the differential equations and complex variables chapters * Many new or improved exercises * Forty new or improved figures * An update of computational techniques for today's contemporary tools, such as microcomputers, Numerical Recipes, and Mathematica, among others.
