Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide

A classic for every right reason! Would recommend this to any freshman aiming to study physics at the post grad level and looking to get ahead of future classes. Well written, with a plethora of great problem sets to anchor your journey towards deeper understanding of fundamental physics concepts! Worth every dollar!

I am very pleased with the book, the good quality of the packaging and delivery.Keep it up!!

This book appears to end my quest for a good book to fill my (many) gaps in mathematics. I have studied a few topics from it, and I find it quite understandable. The index in the end is also quite good to look for something specific. The content itself is 5-stars for me.I do have to deduct one star for the book's binding. I have the softcover version, so maybe this doesn't apply to the hardcover, but the binding is pretty bad. I have had the books for only a couple of weeks, and some pages are already coming loose. I don't think I have been careless with it or anything. Of course, the book is very thick, but still. I have Dover books that are also softcover, and as thick as this one, yet all the pages stay in their place.In summary, I recommend this book, but know you'll need to have it rebound.

I am very pleased to have both this and the student guide in my library. I am planning on getting the etextbook as well for convenience in carrying around. The book itself is one of the (physically) heaviest books I own!

This is a wonderfully written reference for any math class. Abstract topics are explained in a manner in which Engineers easily pick them up. I went through my entire BS pretending to understand math and since we started using this book for my entry level graduate class, I ACTUALLY feel like I understand some of this stuff.If your instructor recommends this book, props to him, and lucky you!If you just like math and wound up here without being forced to buy this book, I would get it anyway because its so good.

This is probably the best math methods book out there. I'm only confused by its characterization as an undergraduate-level book. It is definitely graduate level, particularly in later chapters starting with DE's and complex analysis applications. My guess it is so lucidly well-written, and with available solutions that it is perfectly accessible to senior undergraduates as well!

I wish I had the RHB (Riley, Hobson, and Bence), when I was in engineering school. Alas, I was born too early—a few decades too early. We used Kreyszig, which was good. But in my opinion, RHB's approach, style, and tone is better for the young engineering (and physics) students.
