This new adaptation of Arfken and Weber's bestselling Mathematical Methods for Physicists, Fifth Edition, is the most comprehensive, modern, and accessible reference for using mathematics to solve physics problems.

REVIEWERS SAY: "Examples are excellent. They cover a wide range of physics problems." --Bing Zhou, University of Michigan

"The ideas are communicated very well and it is easy to understand.It has a more modern treatment than most, has a very complete range of topics and each is treated in sufficient detail.I'm not aware of another better book at this level." --Gary Wysin, Kansas State University
