The intent of this note is to introduce students to many of the
mathematical techniques useful in their undergraduate physics education long
before they are exposed to more focused topics in physics. Topics covered
includes: ODEs and SHM, Linear Algebra, Harmonics - Fourier Series, Function
Spaces, Complex Representations, Transform Techniques, Vector Analysis and EM
Waves, Oscillations in Higher Dimensions.
This
note covers the following topics: Series of Functions, Binomial Theorem,
Series Expansion of Functions, Vectors, Complex Functions, Derivatives,
Intergrals, and the Delta Function, Determinants, Matrices, Vector Analysis,
Vector Differentiation and Integration, Integral Theorems and Potential
Theory, Curvilinear Coordinates, Tensor Analysis, Jacobians and Differential
Forms, Vectors in Function Spaces, Gram-Schmidt Orthogonalization and
Operators, Transformations, Invariants, and Matrix Eignevalue Problems,
Hermitian and Normal Matrix Eigenvalue Paroblems, Ordinary Differential
Equations, Second-Order Linear ODEs, Green's Functions.
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.
