Is there any book that details the nuclear mathematics equations?
i am facing a problems in reading "Nuclear reactor physics", it contains complex mathematics.

Nuclear reactor physics involves primarily transport theory and it's simplification, diffusion theory, both of which require knowledge of partial differential equations and systems of equations.
Perhaps Advanced Engineering Mathematics, 9th Edition by Erwin Kreyszig would help.
PART A: ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS (ODE'S).
Chapter 1. First-Order ODE's.
Chapter 2. Second Order Linear ODE's.
Chapter 3. Higher Order Linear ODE's.
Chapter 4. Systems of ODE's Phase Plane, Qualitative Methods.
Chapter 5. Series Solutions of ODE's Special Functions.
Chapter 6. Laplace Transforms.
PART B: LINEAR ALGEBRA, VECTOR CALCULUS.
Chapter 7. Linear Algebra: Matrices, Vectors, Determinants: Linear Systems.
Chapter 8. Linear Algebra: Matrix Eigenvalue Problems.
Chapter 9. Vector Differential Calculus: Grad, Div, Curl.
Chapter 10. Vector Integral Calculus: Integral Theorems.
PART C: FOURIER ANALYSIS, PARTIAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS.
Chapter 11. Fourier Series, Integrals, and Transforms.
