Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering

by Mattias Blennow

Suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, this new textbook contains an introduction to the mathematical concepts used in physics and engineering. The entire book is unique in that it draws upon applications from physics, rather than mathematical examples, to ensure students are fully equipped with the tools they need. This approach prepares the reader for advanced topics, such as quantum mechanics and general relativity, while offering examples, problems, and insights into classical physics. The book is also distinctive in the coverage it devotes to modelling, and to oft-neglected topics such as Green's functions.

This is a more advanced mathematical methods textbook than the usual Arfken & Weber or Riley & Hobson. I wouldn't recommend this particular textbook for beginners, but for more advanced students at later stages of studying. There's enough exercises at the end of each chapter, which is a plus.
