<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>Alle mathematischen Verfahren, die man nach dem Diplom in Physik beherrschen sollte, sind in diesem Buch nachzulesen. Neben den Ã1/4blichen Themen aus der Analysis - unendliche Reihen, Funktionen komplexer Variabler, Differenzialgleichungen und lineare Vektorräume - findet sich hier auch eine ausfÃ1/4hrliche Diskussion der Gruppentheorie, die man in modernen LehrbÃ1/4chern mit ähnlichem Themenumfang meist vergeblich sucht.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>This book is intended to be a survey of mathematical methods which should be available to graduate students in physics and related areas in science and engineering at an early stage in their careers. It may also be useful for practicing professionals who need an elementary introduction to the mathematical areas covered in the text. <br> In addition to the usual topics of analysis such as infinite series, functions of a complex variable, differential and partial differential equations, there is an extensive early introduction to the methods of differential geometry with examples cosen from classical mechanics, thermodynamics and electromagnetic theory. Some simle examples of nonlinear partial differential equations are discussed briefly. There is also a more extensive treatment of group theory than is available in current general mathematical physics textbooks. <br> Free solutions manual available for lecturers at www.wiley-vch.de/supplements/.<br><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>This book can serve not only as a useful reference but also as an excellent text ... .Well written and highly recommended. (<i>Zentralblatt MATH</i>, 1132, 2008) <p>...an excellent resource for practicing professionals as well as researchers and faculty... (<i>CHOICE</i>, December 2007)</p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Michael T. Vaughn is Professor of Physics at Northeastern University in Boston and well known in particle theory for his contributions to quantum field theory especially in the derivation of two loop renormalization group equations for the Yukowa and scalar quartic couplings in Yang-Mills gauge theories and in softly broken supersymmetric theories. Professor Vaughn has taught graduate courses in mathematical physics at the University of Pennsylvania, Indiana University and Texas A&M University as well as at Northeastern. <p/>
