This practical introduction encapsulates the entire content of teaching material for UK honours degree courses in mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering, and is also appropriate for post-graduate study. It imparts the necessary mathematics for use of the techniques, with subject-related worked examples throughout. The text is supported by challenging problem exercises (and answers) to test student comprehension. Index notation used in the text simplifies manipulations in the sections on vectors and tensors. Partial differential equations are discussed, and special functions introduced as solutions. The book will serve for postgraduate reference worldwide, with variation for USA.

In this edition, half of the exercises are provided with hints and answers and, in a separate manual available to both students and their teachers, complete worked solutions.
"Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, math and engineering, this book will also become a must-have for the personal library of all advanced students in the physical sciences.
Mathematical methods for mathematicians, physical scientists and engineers
The book is also distinctive in the coverage it devotes to modelling, and to oft-neglected topics such as Green's functions.
This book is written with this multi-disciplinary group in mind, emphasizing practical solutions for diverse applications and the development of a new interdisciplinary science.
The topics of this set of student-oriented books are presented in a discursive style that is readable and easy to follow.
This book helps readers gain a solid foundation in the many areas of mathematical methods in order to achieve a basic competence in advanced physics, chemistry, and engineering.
Geared toward undergraduates in the physical sciences, this text offers a very useful review of mathematical methods that students will employ throughout their education and beyond. Includes problems, answers. 1973 edition.
Algebraically based approach to vectors, mapping, diffraction, and other topics covers generalized functions, analytic function theory, Hilbert spaces, calculus of variations, boundary value problems, integral equations, more. 1969 edition.
Pedagogical insights gained through 30 years of teaching applied mathematics led the author to write this set of student oriented books.
