{"product_id":"mathematics-for-physics-michael-stone-9780521854030","title":"Mathematics for Physics: A Guided Tour for Graduate Students","description":"An engagingly-written account of mathematical tools and ideas, this book provides a graduate-level introduction to the mathematics used in research in physics. The first half of the book focuses on the traditional mathematical methods of physics - differential and integral equations, Fourier series and the calculus of variations. The second half contains an introduction to more advanced subjects, including differential geometry, topology and complex variables. The authors' exposition avoids excess rigor whilst explaining subtle but important points often glossed over in more elementary texts. The topics are illustrated at every stage by carefully chosen examples, exercises and problems drawn from realistic physics settings. These make it useful both as a textbook in advanced courses and for self-study.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Stone, Paul Goldbart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521854032\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521854030\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.70h x 7.00w x 2.00d","brand":"Michael Stone","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43946745659647,"sku":"9780521854030","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_011ef9ac-7c52-4f1b-aa8b-6372905ee107.jpg?v=1681514898","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/mathematics-for-physics-michael-stone-9780521854030","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
