Mathematical tools for physicists

George L. Trigg3527405488, 9783527405480

Mathematical Tools for Physisists is a unique collection of 18 review articles, each one written by a renowned expert of its field. Their professional style will be beneficial for advanced students as well as for the scientist at work. The first may find a comprehensive introduction while the latter use it as a quick reference.
The contributions range from fundamental methods right up to the latest applications, including: Algebraic/ analytic / geometric methods Symmetries and conservation laws Mathematical modelling Quantum computation
Great attention was paid to ensuring fast access to the information, and each carefully reviewed article features: an abstract a detailed table of contents continuous cross-referencing references to the most relevant publications in the field, and suggestions for further reading, both introductory as well as highly specialized.
In addition, a comprehensive index provides easy access to the enormous number of key words beyond the headlines.
