520 _a "This book gives a comprehensive account of mathematical physics, assigning a prominent role to the applications of the relevant mathematics to specific parts of physics ranging over fluid mechanics, electromagnetic theory, special relativity, quantum mechanics, quantum optics, random processes, linear response theory, scattering theory, and so on. Rather than emphasizing formal proofs of propositions, the results are motivated, stated, elaborated and remarked upon. Their inter-relationships and connections are brought out, and several of their applications are discussed in some detail. There are about 370 exercises and problems interspersed in the text itself at appropriate junctures, so as to facilitate the logical flow of the material without interruption. Wherever applicable, solutions to the problems, or answers with hints as to how to arrive at them, along with relevant remarks, are given at the end of each chapter. This book can also be used as a wide-ranging and fairly self-contained text for self-study, and will be well received by students of physics at all levels (senior undergraduate, master's and doctoral), as well as those who are now teachers of the subject"--Page 4 of cover
