I would like to add one of my favorite mathematical "cookbooks" -- "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas.
Bad Integrals? Tensor Analysis? Fancy functions and special polynomials? PDE tricks?
Boas has solutions!
Methods are practically explained and succinct. It's my favorite book to brush up on a old technique or learn some new methods.
Wolfram's Mathworld is also a good reference, but not as much of a learning tool.
- dorchadas 7y agoThis is the book we started to use in my Mathematical Methods in Physics course. It was good, but the professor decided (rightly, in my opinion) to focus more on working from linear algebra/differential equations textbooks so I never went through it. Might pull it back out and do that.
