 Tough But Not Discouraging April 20, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This book seems to be a rarity. Although the matrial seems at first to be sophisticated and advanced to grad or undergrad students using it, it still doesn't discourage them or myself from continuing to try to grasp it. In fact it seems to do the opposite and draw one in to keep trying over and over again to improve your comprehension. (This can't be said for a lot of "difficult" textbooks out there).
I think it's in the tone of the authors that makes this book so engaging. It seems to me to be written in a sort of conversational style, and while the authors realize that this is tough stuff to digest, their tone lacks any hint of snobbery (for lack of a better word). They're also good at getting straight to the point.
Yes, it may take three, four, or maybe more readings to understand certain sections, but in some way this title makes one feel like there is a light at the end of tunnel, and it provided a lot of "Ah Ha" moments for me after such multiple re-readings.
Not only an excellent book for it's wealth of information, but also very engaging.
Excellent math reference for physicists August 6, 2007

As the title says, it's one of the best books for mathematics in physics. Not simple at first glance (not indicated for first students, I guess), but good to review some math...
 Great Physical Mathematics July 31, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Great mathematical physics book. I bought it as a supplement text for a mathematical physics course as well as help in quantum physics course. Got me through a lot of Quantum homeworks. I still use this book as a reference for math and physics concepts. The ordering of the book is a little weird and skips the some of the basic concepts in linear algebra but explores a wide variety of other topics including Green Functions, Cauchy-Riemann, Fourier analysis and transforms, Dirac notation, ect. At the end of topic the book works through examples. A must have for physicist, engineers, and mathematicians.
astonishing! June 7, 2007

this book chose the best way to convey the mathematics behind a physical idea just by proving it through the mathematics involved . With that , one has a lucid idea about the language of physical laws . I can simply assure anybody who wants to buy this book that it is worthy .
The real deal. May 16, 2007

Over my head, but clearly a solid rung in the ladder for those who are capable of mastering quantum physics. Not that I couldn't - it would just take 10-20 years that I don't have.
