AI Thread Summary
A user seeks recommendations for a mathematics book that integrates concepts relevant to physics, as they prepare for a Physics degree after completing A Level Maths and Further Maths in the UK. They have covered a range of topics including differentiation, integration, differential equations, matrices, complex numbers, and are considering advanced subjects like Markov Chains and Multi-Variable Calculus. A suggested resource is "Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences" by Mary L. Boas, which is noted for its applicability to physics and is available on Amazon. The user is looking for a book that will deepen their mathematical understanding in preparation for university studies.

Hi,

I'm looking for a good maths book that emphasises on Physics.

I'm doing A Level Maths and Further Maths with other A Levels (17 years old in England, UK). So I've met Differentiation (quotient, chain rule, trig differentiation, implicit...), Integration (by parts, substitution, partial), Partial fractions, Parametric Equations. We've gone through first order differential equations too.

Also been through Matrices, Complex Numbers, Curve Sketching (Had enough if this!), Polar Coordinates, Hyperbolic Functions in Further Maths. Moreover, other basic maths.

We may go through Markov Chains, Differential Geometry and Multi-Variable Calulus this year, depending on what I pick for my subject modules.

I want to expand on my Maths knowledge this year before beginning University (Physics Degree).

Any good books for my level of knowledge? There's just so many on Amazon.

Thanks.

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!
This is part 2 of my thread Collection of Free Online Math Books and Lecture Notes Here, we will consider physics and mathematical methods for physics resources. Now, this is a work in progress. Please feel free comment regarding items you want to be included, or if a link is broken etc. Note: I will not post links to other collections, each link will point you to a single item. :book:📚📒 [FONT=trebuchet ms]Introductory college/university physics College Physics, Openstax...
