 - xxv, 747 pages :  illustrations ;  28 cm. 
<br/><br/>Includes bibliographical references (pages 733-735) and index. 
<br/><br/>Introduction and review -- Free fall and harmonic oscillators -- Linear algebra -- Nonlinear dynamics -- The harmonics of vibrating strings -- Non-sinusoidal harmonics and special functions -- Complex representations of functions -- Transform techniques in physics -- Vector analysis and EM waves -- Extrema and variational calculus -- Problems in higher dimensions. 
<br/><br/> Based on the author’s junior-level undergraduate course, this introductory textbook is designed for a course in mathematical physics. Focusing on the physics of oscillations and waves, A Course in Mathematical Methods for Physicists helps students understand the mathematical techniques needed for their future studies in physics. It takes a bottom-up approach that emphasizes physical applications of the mathematics. .
