Mathematical methods for scientists and engineers

From best-selling author Donald McQuarrie comes his newest text, Mathematical Methods for Physical Scientists and Engineers. Intended for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in chemistry, physics, maths and engineering, this book is essential reading for all advanced students in the physical sciences. Comprised of more than 2000 problems and 700 worked examples that detail every single step, this text is exceptionally well adapted for self study as well as for course use. Famous for his clear writing, careful pedagogy, and challenging problems and examples, McQuarrie has crafted yet another tour de force. -
