Equations of Mathematical Physics I

Academic year 2014-15, Michealmas term

Reading Material

Text books
I am not following any particular text book. There is a great number of books for scientists or engineers which are covering this material. Two typical examples are:

• "Advanced Engineering Mathematics",
  by Erwin Kreyszig, Wiley


• "Essential Mathematical Methods for the Physical Sciences",
  by K.F. Riley and K.P. Hobson, Cambridge University Press
  


• "Calculus"
  by Howard Anton, Irl Bivens and Stephen Davis, Wiley
  (Contains only the second part of the course: double integrals, line integrals etc)

Lecture notes
Conor Houghton has produced a set of very nice notes, which I have followed for most parts of this module:

Fourier series (initiated by Conor Houghton to whom many thanks!)

Vector analysis

section I.1 , pictures: I.1.1-3 and I.1.4-6 and I.1.7-8
section I.2 , pictures: I.2.1-4
section I.3 , pictures: I.3.1
section I.4 , pictures: I.4.1-2 and I.4.3-5

Similar modules have been taught over the years by various people, some of whom thankfully provided notes:
