Does anyone know of a good advanced undergraduate mathematical physics book with answers for self study? I hear good things about the Mary Boas book, but want more opinions. Thanks!

I am looking for a more "textbook" style emphasizing Fourier methods, Laplace Methods, Bessel functions, and general stuff on differential and integral equations. Other stuff such as boundary value problems, calculus of variations, analytic functions, and linear algebra would be good too. I really like the content of "Mathematics for Classical and Quantum Physics" by Byron and Fuller but there are no answers in the back, so I have no way to check myself. I hope that helps.
Some popular options for beginners include "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas, "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" by K.F. Riley, M.P. Hobson, and S.J. Bence, and "Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations" by Sadri Hassani.
For more advanced learners, some highly recommended books include "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" by V.I. Arnold, "Mathematical Methods for Physicists" by George B. Arfken and Hans J. Weber, and "Mathematical Methods in Quantum Mechanics" by Gerald Teschl.
Yes, there are several books that are designed for self-study, such as "Mathematical Physics: A Basic Introduction" by Konstantin Knauf, "Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations" by Sadri Hassani, and "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary Boas.
Some popular books for exam preparation include "Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering" by K.F. Riley, M.P. Hobson, and S.J. Bence, "Mathematical Methods for Physicists" by George B. Arfken and Hans J. Weber, and "Mathematical Methods of Classical Mechanics" by V.I. Arnold.
Yes, there are several online resources such as lectures, tutorials, and practice problems available for learning Mathematical Physics. Some popular options include MIT OpenCourseWare, Khan Academy, and Coursera. Additionally, many universities have their course materials and lecture notes available online for free.
