James Nearing PhD., Associate Professor Emeritus at the University of Miami, Assists Physics Students and Undergraduates in Laying a Solid Mathematical Foundation

Dr. James Nearing understands that knowing the right answer does not always imply comprehension. He wrote the book “Mathematical Tools for Physics” to teach physics students and undergraduates how to handle issues in an educated and intuitive manner in order to help them establish a firm foundation in important mathematical techniques. Before diving into infinite series, complex algebra, differential equations, and Fourier series in depth, the author reviews basic mathematics. The next chapters cover vector spaces, operators, and matrices. This course covers multivariable and vector calculus, partial differential equations, numerical and complex analysis, and tensors, among other subjects. Other topics ... Read more
