Mathematical Physics

Description

The theory of mathematical physics was developed almost concurrently with the mathematical fields of analysis, differential equations, and functional analysis in the 19th and early 20th century. Mathematical physics refers to the development of mathematical methods for application to problems in physics. Mathematical physics is distinguished from mathematical methods applied to mathematics or the application of mathematics to physics. Mathematical physics is characterized by a focus on the fundamental interplay between mathematics and physics. This book covers the major topics in mathematical physics including: classical mechanics, classical electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and special relativity. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the field of physics and mathematics.
