The purpose of this note is to present standard and widely used mathematical methods in Physics, including
functions of a complex variable, differential equations, linear algebra and special functions associated with eigenvalue problems of ordinary and
partial differential operators.
Mathematics is an
integral component of all of the scientific disciplines, but for physics, it is
a vital and essential skill that anyone who chooses to study this subject must
master. Topics covered includes: Functions and Geometry, Complex Numbers,
Matrices, Vectors, Limits, Differentiation, Partial Differentiation and
Multivariable Differential Calculus, Integration, Multiple Integration,
Differential Equations, Series and Expansions, Operators, Mechanics.
The main focus of this note is on theoretical
developments rather than elaborating on concrete physical systems, which the
students are supposed to encounter in regular physics courses. Topics covered
includes: Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics,
Hilbert Spaces, Operators on Hilbert spaces and Quantum mechanics.
