5.0 out of 5 stars
A hard but superb book.,
By
This review is from: Methods of Theoretical Physics, Part I (Hardcover)
Current physics students had less mathematical trainings than those did several decades ago, when computer wasn't popular. So this book is probably too hard to read through and to work on its problems. But if you force yourself, you will begin to appreciate the beauty of mathematics. The chapter about Green's function is escpecially good, never had a so vivid lecture on Green's function before. Actually, when I read this book, I felt Green's function is the kernel and the main bone of this book. It appears almost in every chapter. The price is pretty high, but if you choose physics as your career, it's worth to have this book, both for academic and entertaining purposes.

4.0 out of 5 stars
A Classic but dated & expensive - paperback coming soon,
By George Brown Arfken (Miami,Florida USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Methods of Theoretical Physics, Part I (Hardcover)
In response to questions from colleagues and students i'm posting this review.This was the standard text many years ago. Many current topics on mathematical Quantization and Stochastic Optimization are conspicuously abscent. The publisher is working on a two Volume Paperback edition that will be available shortly, so save your money and buy this 2-vol set for one fifth the price.

THE classic text,
By
This review is from: Methods of Theoretical Physics, Part I (Hardcover)
The classic text, still excellent, tho' somewhat dated. Well worth having because (a) the physical viewpoint is helpful for theorists and easier for experimentalists, (b) the older viewpoint is different from that of more modern texts, and still worthwhile; multiple viewpoints increase understanding.
