Mathematical Tools For Physicists

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.

George L. Trigg, an internationally experienced and qualified senior editor in Physics, lives in New Paltz/New York. For many years he was co-editor of the most renowned expert journal in Physics, Physical Review Letters. George L. Trigg also was the editor-in-chief of the Encyclopedia of Applied Physics.

"Trigg and co-writers are skilled instructors who do an artful job in establishing a continuity as one topic switches to the next." (Electric Review, September/October 2006)
"…18 review articles…offer advanced students and researchers a quick, to-the-point introduction…" (CHOICE, May 2006)
