Physical Mathematics

'Cahill has given us a concise and mathematically clear text, one that adds many contemporary topics to a classic selection.' Roy J. Glauber, Harvard University, Massachusetts
'Kevin Cahill's book collects and presents the mathematical methods of physics succinctly, and will be much welcomed by students and researchers alike.' A. Zee, University of California, Santa Barbara
'This book provides a comprehensive coverage of the mathematics necessary for advanced study in physics. The key notions are presented concisely and accurately with a wealth of beautiful examples borrowed from physics, biophysics, and probability theory. The inclusion of advanced topics such as differential forms and group theory makes this book a most useful resource for graduate students and researchers in theoretical physics.' Alain Comtet, Université Pierre et Marie Curie
'I am impressed by the extremely clear and direct style with which this book has been written … The author has distilled his experience and obvious enjoyment of the subject, and presented mathematics in a remarkably human and accessible form.' David Waxman, Fudan University, Shanghai
'The book places itself as a reference for the undergraduate students, the graduate students and the researchers who need to refresh some topics. As the author indicates, the book covers all the mathematics needed for a physicist. Also, the instructor who gives a course on mathematical physics can find useful material in the book. The topics are explained with little stress on the physical meaning which is meant to come spontaneously progressing in the book. The completeness of topics is preferred to proofs and deep explanations … this book is indicated for the student who wants a solid and complete reference for mathematical tool in physics. The instructor can use the book as a reference for basic or advanced courses of mathematical physics, as well as for more theoretically based courses.' Stefano Scali, Contemporary Physics
