Reviews
"Any lecturer on mathematical methods is also looking for worked examples and numerous exercises. This book passes these tests admirably. [...] In summary, a welcome addition to the good books in this area."
Australian PHYSICS
"Insgesamt ist das Buch allen Studierenden zu empfehlen, die uber den Tellerrand eines mathematischen Grundkurses hinausgehen wollen und gleichzeitig physikalische Motivationen suchen."
