<br> This book gathers together in one place both standard and advanced topics on mathematical methods in physics. As such, it will be of use to both researchers and students in theoretical physics, as well as university-level lecturers who may wish to use it as a textbook. The second edition expands on the set of problems of the first edition, and includes new material on special relativity and chaos. It covers a broad spectrum of topics that will be of enormous use to theoretical physicists. -- Richard J. Szabo, School of Mathematical and Computer Sciences, Heriot-Watt University<p><br>

Overall this is a first to second year undergraduate book that covers an unusual quantity of material. The book contains many problems to assist with understanding the contents. I would recommend this book to all undergraduates with an interest in mathematical physics, mathematics or physics.
