About Book
The aim of the present book is to ·help the reader acquire the proficiency needed to successfully apply the methods of mathematical physics to a variety of problems drawn from mechanics, the theory of heat conduction, and the theory of electric and magnetic phenomena. A wide range of topics is covered, including not only problems of the simpler sort, but also problems of a more complicated nature involving such things as curvilinear coordinates, integral transforms, certain kinds of integral equations, etc. The book is intended both for students concomitantly studying the corresponding topics in courses of mathematical physics, and for research scientists who in their work find it necessary to carry out calculations using the methods described here. A rather solid background in applied mathematics is needed to profit from the book in its entirety. However, most of the problems appearing in Chapters 2 to 5 will be access~ble to those who have taken only the usual first course in methods of mathematical physics.
