Further Mathematics for the Physical Sciences

Further Mathematics for the Physical Sciences Further Mathematicsfor the Physical Sciences aims to build upon the reader's knowledgeof basic mathematical methods, through a gradual progression tomore advanced methods and techniques. Carefully structured as aseries of self-paced and self-contained chapters, this text coversthe essential and most important techniques needed by physicalscience students. Starting with complex numbers, the text thenmoves on to cover vector algebra, determinants, matrices,differentiation, integration, differential equations and finallyvector calculus, all within an applied environment. The reader isguided through these different techniques with the help of numerousworked examples, applications, problems, figures and summaries. Theauthors aim to provide high-quality and thoroughly class-testedmaterial to meet the changing needs of science students. FurtherMathematics for the Physical Sciences:
* Is a carefully structured text, with self-containedchapters.
* Gradually introduces mathematical techniques within an appliedenvironment.
* Includes many worked examples, applications, problems andsummaries in each chapter.
Further Mathematics for the Physical Sciences will be invaluable toall students of physics, chemistry and engineering, needing todevelop or refresh their knowledge of basic mathematics. The book'sstructure will make it equally valuable for course use, home studyor distance learning.
