About this product

Product Information

Now in its third edition, Mathematical Concepts in the Physical Sciences, 3rd Edition provides a comprehensive introduction to the areas of mathematical physics. It combines all the essential math concepts into one compact, clearly written reference. This book is intended for students who have had a two-semester or three-semester introductory calculus course. Its purpose is to help students develop, in a short time, a basic competence in each of the many areas of mathematics needed in advanced courses in physics, chemistry, and engineering. Students are given sufficient depth to gain a solid foundation (this is not a recipe book). At the same time, they are not overwhelmed with detailed proofs that are more appropriate for students of mathematics. The emphasis is on mathematical methods rather than applications, but students are given some idea of how the methods will be used along with some simple applications.

  • BEWARE OF THE DESCRIPTION

    I missunderstood that the book is NOT the hardcover edition. The picture is missleading. I still consider that this book is rare (none of the bookshops had it) and it's at a good price. Got it considerably fast.

  • Buy from a reputable source.

    "Illegal to sell in USA" is in bold print on top right front cover. Print is poor quality and somewhat indistinct black and white. The cover shown is not what is delivered.

  • One of the most important books in a physicist's compendium

    Beyond any shadow of a doubt, the mathematical tools presented by Mary Boas in her textbook will be of utmost importance for any undergraduate in a STEM field requiring advanced mathematical understanding. This is a textbook that is worth purchasing and holding onto.
