Recommendation of a textbook about methods of mathematical physics

[princeton118]

Could someone recommend a good textbook on methods of mathematical physics?

Thanks!

Depends on your academic level and application. These are undergraduate to graduate level books:

Numerical Techniques:
Fundamental Numerical Methods and Data Analysis - G. Collins.pdf

Analytical Techniques:
Methods for Solving Inverse Problems in Mathematical Physics - Prilepko, Orlovskiy.pdf

 

[George Jones]

As n0_3sc said, it depends on what you have in mind.

Or did you have stuffhttps://www.physicsforums.com/showpost.php?p=1008436&postcount=60" in mind?

george i read that second post and i can't imagine a practicing scientist/physicist being unfamiliar with something as basic as group theory, for example. i was always under the impression that abstract math was as tantamount to physical intuition in science.
