Description for A Course in Mathematics for Students of Physics: Volume 1
Paperback. A textbook covering the theory and physical applications of linear algebra and the calculus of several variables. Num Pages: 424 pages, 408 b/w illus. BIC Classification: PDE; TBJ. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 192 x 235 x 15. Weight in Grams: 736.
This textbook, available in two volumes, has been developed from a course taught at Harvard over the last decade. The course covers principally the theory and physical applications of linear algebra and of the calculus of several variables, particularly the exterior calculus. The authors adopt the 'spiral method' of teaching, covering the same topic several times at increasing levels of sophistication and range of application. Thus the reader develops a deep, intuitive understanding of the subject as a whole, and an appreciation of the natural progression of ideas. Topics covered include many items previously dealt with at a much more ... Read more
