An Introduction to Mathematical Methods of Physics
Lorella M. Jones
The Benjamin/Cummings Publishing Company, Inc.
This book covers the material for a course in mathematical physics at the
advanced undergraduate level. This course is an attempt to provide a good transition from
undergraduate students’ mathematical training to the relative sophistication expected in graduate level
quantum mechanics and electromagnetism courses. The general philosophy
adopted has been to maintain the emphasis on problem solving of the Mathews
and Walker book (Mathematical Methods of Physics by J. Mathews and R.
Walker, W. A. Benjamin, Inc.) while restricting the topics covered and supplying
a large amount of background material that is needed at the undergraduate
level.
