Exercises and Problems in Mathematical Methods of Physics

Giampaolo Cicogna worked at the University of Pisa in Italy from 1966 to 2012, as Assistant Professor of Geometry for Physicists and of Complementary Mathematics for Engineers (1966-80) and as Associated Professor of Mathematical Methods of Physics (1967-2012). He joined the university's staff shortly after graduating in Physics "magna cum laude" from the Department of Physics of Pisa University in 1964. He worked as a collaborator with the Italian National Institute for Nuclear Physics (INFN) until 2015. Following his retirement, he continues to collaborate in research and didactic activities. Author of more than 120 publications in international scientific journals, mainly addressing the mathematical aspects (with special emphasis on the role of symmetries) of several fields of physics, he has acted as a referee for various journals and as a reviewer for academic and research institutions and for CINECA, a nonprofit consortium comprising Italian universities and theItalian Ministry of Education, Universities and Research (MIUR).
