Book Overview
This book, first published in 1998, is the second in a two volume work and introduces integral and differential calculus, waves, matrices, and eigenvectors for undergraduates in physics and engineering. Together, the two volumes cover all the mathematics needed for an introductory course in the physical sciences. The approach taken is to learn through understanding real examples, showing mathematics as a tool for understanding physical systems and their behaviour. The aim is to make the student feel at home with real problems by creating a toolkit through a wide range of examples. The traditional approach of teaching theory for its own sake is not used in this course. Dr. Lyons brings a wealth of teaching experience to this refreshing textbook on the fundamentals of mathematics for physics and engineering.

Amazing Book!!

Louis Lyons makes mathematics come alive in his book, which is really helpful for physics students. He gives you practical applications of all those equations in math which make little sense at first.Every chapter has very few problems at the end, but all are really good problems, which test your fundamentals of the chapter.I recommend the book to anyone who likes Math, especially those who like it but find some parts of it boring.I found it very useful for my IIT (Indian Institute of Technology) preparation too.
get your books & pencils, be ready to ask & learn......
