Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences (Hardover)

Now in its third edition, Mathematical Concepts in the Physical Sciences, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the areas of mathematical physics. It combines all the essential math concepts into one compact, clearly written reference.

This book is intended for students who have had a two-semester or three-semester introductory calculus course.  Its purpose is to help students develop, in a short time, a basic competence in each of the many areas of mathematics needed in advanced courses in physics, chemistry, and engineering.  Students are given sufficient depth to gain a solid foundation (this is not a recipe book).  At the same time, they are not overwhelmed with detailed proofs that are more appropriate for students of mathematics.  The emphasis is on mathematical methods rather than applications, but students are given some idea of how the methods will be used along with some simple applications.

現在已經是第三版的《物理科學中的數學概念，第三版》提供了對數學物理領域的全面介紹。它將所有基本的數學概念結合在一本簡潔明瞭的參考書中。

本書適用於已修過兩學期或三學期的入門微積分課程的學生。它的目的是幫助學生在短時間內在物理、化學和工程等高級課程所需的許多數學領域中建立基本能力。學生將獲得足夠的深度，以建立堅實的基礎（這不是一本食譜書）。同時，他們不會被適合數學學生的詳細證明所淹沒。重點是數學方法而不是應用，但學生將獲得一些如何應用這些方法以及一些簡單應用的概念。
