This elementary introduction pays special attention to aspects of tensor calculus and relativity that students tend to find most difficult. Its use of relatively unsophisticated mathematics in the early chapters allows readers to develop their confidence within the framework of Cartesian coordinates[...]
The basic concepts of relativity theory are conveyed through worked and unworked examples in this text, which requires no mathematics beyond elementary algebra. Suitable for undergraduate and graduate students, it emphasizes physical principles and concepts. The author anticipates the variety of dif[...]
Most texts on quantum mechanics are primarily designed for physicists; this one, taking a somewhat different approach, is geared toward upper-level undergraduates and graduate students in applied mathematics. The author develops the subject in a systematic and logical manner from a minimal set of ax[...]
