Graduate students in the natural sciences--including not only geophysics and space physics but also atmospheric and planetary physics, ocean sciences, and astronomy--need a broad-based mathematical toolbox to facilitate their research. In addition, they need to survey a wider array of mathematical methods that, while outside their particular areas of expertise, are important in related ones. While it is unrealistic to expect them to develop an encyclopedic knowledge of all the methods that are out there, they need to know how and where to obtain reliable and effective insights into these broader areas. Here at last is a graduate textbook that ... Read more

Reviews for Mathematical Methods for Geophysics and Space Physics
Excellent as a primary or supplementary text in mathematical geophysics. I like the style of this book, which is close to the applications, but not too close. Newman focuses on the right amount of details, and offers ample physical motivation. -Frederik J. Simons, Princeton University Newman's presentation is elegant and nicely written, and the exercise questions are first-rate. -Francis ... Read more
