Hi,
I'm a graduate with a BSc in Physics and MSc in Systems Engineering which I graduated from about 10 years ago. I'm trying to do some prep work in Mathematics with the intention of potentially doing an MSc in Computer Science, but also out of an interest in working through some of the Physics texts from my undergraduate days.
With this in mind I've been trying to work through my copy of Boas' Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences. I'm finding the explanations quite difficult to follow however. Can someone recommend an alternative?
I've come across two potential books:
1) Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering by Riley, Hobson and Bence
https://www.cambridge.org/higheredu...ing/FC466374D5B94E86D969100070CA6483#contents
2) Mathematics for Physicists by Martin and Shaw
https://blackwells.co.uk/bookshop/product/9780470660225
Which seems to be a recommended text at the University of Manchester which I understand is one of the better Physics Depts. in the UK. I did try and check a few others, but not all of them include details of the recommended texts.
Any thoughts on the above books? I'm leaning towards the first option, but would appreciate any other recommendations.
