Satzer, MAA Review "The majority of applied mathematical fields presently require so much specialization that mathematics often takes a back seat to the particular field of study. This book not only contains a great deal of the mathematics necessary to seriously study physics but also encourages physicists and potential physicists to embrace mathematics."--J.T. Zerger, Choice "Walter Appel, a theoretical physicist and mathematics educator who currently teaches mathematics at the Henri Poincare School in France, seeks in his book--appearing here in translation--to cover all the mathematics that a physicist requires above undergraduate level, including recent topics such as convergence, Green functions and Fourier series, as well as offering biographical sketches of mathematicians and problem sets."--Times Higher Education "There is a law, if not a physical law, that ensures that whenever one is using a standard mathematical technique for a physical problem it is always the special case or a first principles argument that is required. Nothing is straightforward! For such a situation this book is ideal. It presents clear definitions and the rationale for such definitions. The style of the book is very readable and an interesting biographical asides of the mathematicians associated with the topics provide light relief from the depth of the the analysis. The book is both a valuable reference book and is a good pedagogic treatment of mathematical physics. It is a book that should be on many bookshelves."--Brian L. Burrows, Zentralblatt Math "Mathematics for Physics and Physicists is a well-organized resource today's physicists must have to strengthen their math skills and to gain otherwise unattainable insights into their fields of study. Mathematics has always been and is still a precious... One is delighted to see Appel's book maintains a nice balance between rigorous mathematics and physical applications... It will lead potential physicists to embrace mathematics and they will benefit substantially."--Current Engineering Practice
Walter Appel holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics. He taught mathematics for physics for seven years at the Ecole Normale Superieure de Lyon in France and currently teaches mathematics at the Henri Poincare School.
