Mathematical Methods for Physics : 45th anniversary edition
From classical mechanics and classical electrodynamics to modern quantum mechanics many physical phenomena are formulated in terms of similar partial differential equations while boundary conditions determine the specifics of the problem. This 45th anniversary edition of the advanced book classic Mathematical Methods for Physics demonstrates how many physics problems resolve into similar inhomogeneous partial differential equations and the mathematical techniques for solving them. The text has three parts: Part I establishes solving the homogenous Laplace and Helmholtz equations in the three main coordinate systems rectilinear cylindrical and spherical and develops the solution space for series solutions to the Sturm-Liouville equation indicial relations and the expansion of orthogonal functions including spherical harmonics and Fourier series Bessel and Spherical Bessel functions. Many examples with figures are provided including electrostatics wave guides and resonant cavities vibrations of membranes heat flow potential flow in fluids and plane and spherical waves. In Part II the inhomogeneous equations are addressed where source terms are included for Poisson's equation the wave equation and the diffusion equation. Coverage includes many examples from averaging approaches for electrostatics and magnetostatics from Green function solutions for time independent and time dependent problems and from integral equation methods. In Part III complex variable techniques are presented for solving integral equations involving Cauchy Residue theory contour methods analytic continuation and transforming the contour; for addressing dispersion relations; for revisiting special functions in the complex plane; and for transforms in the complex plane including Green’s functions and Laplace transforms. Key Features: · Mathematical Methods for Physics creates a strong solid anchor of learning and is useful for reference. · Lecture note style suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students to learn many techniques for solving partial differential equations with boundary conditions · Many examples across various subjects of physics in classical mechanics classical electrodynamics and quantum mechanics · Updated typesetting and layout for improved clarity This book in lecture note style with updated layout and typesetting is suitable for advanced undergraduate graduate students and as a reference for researchers. It has been edited and carefully updated by Gary Powell. | Mathematical Methods for Physics 45th anniversary edition

Delivery, Returns & Refunds
Delivery
Sellers offer a range of delivery options, so you can choose the one that’s most convenient for you. Many sellers offer free delivery. You can always find the postage cost and estimated delivery date in a seller’s listing. You'll then be able to see a full list of delivery options during checkout. These can include: Express delivery, Standard delivery, Economy delivery, Click & Collect, Free local collection from seller.
Returns
Your options for returning an item vary depending on what you want to return, why you want to return it, and the seller's return policy. If the item is damaged or doesn't match the listing description, you can return it even if the seller's returns policy says they don't accept returns. If you've changed your mind and no longer want an item, you can still request a return, but the seller doesn't have to accept it. If the buyer changes their mind about a purchase and wants to return an item, they may need to pay return postage costs, depending on the seller's return policy. Sellers can provide a return postage address and additional return postage information for the buyer. Sellers pay for return postage if there's a problem with the item. For example, if the item doesn't match the listing description, is damaged or defective or is counterfeit. By law, customers in the European Union also have the right to cancel the purchase of an item within 14 days beginning from the day you receive, or a third party indicated by you (other than the carrier) receives, the last good ordered by you (if delivered separately). This applies to all products except for digital items (e.g. Digital Music) that are provided immediately to you with your acknowledgement, and other items such as video, DVD, audio, video games, Sex and Sensuality products and software products where the item has been unsealed.
Refunds
Sellers have to offer a refund for certain items only if they are faulty, such as: Personalised items and custom-made items, Perishable items, Newspapers and magazines, Unwrapped CDs DVDs and computer software. If you used your PayPal balance or bank account to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your PayPal account balance. If you used a credit or debit card to fund the original payment, the refunded money will go back to your card. The seller will effect the refund within three working days but it may take up to 30 days for Paypal to process the transfer. For payments funded partially by a card and partially by your balance/bank, the money taken from your card will go back to your card and the remainder will return to your PayPal balance.
