About this title

Review

'... a very well readable and highly recommendable addition to the existing courses in mathematics for students of physics.' Zentralblatt für Mathematik und Ihre Grenzgebiete

'... there is to my knowledge no comparable book, and it is hard to imagine a more inspiring one.' The Times Higher Education Supplement

'... this book will serve as a fundamental text not only for students in physics, but also for students in mathematics interested in the most evident applications of mathematical definitions, results and theories.' Padiatre and Padalogie

'Not only is the mathematics clean, elegant, andmodern, but the presentation is humane, especially for a mathematics text. Examples are provided before generalisation, and motivation and applications are kept firmly in view ... This is first rate!' American Journal of Physics

Book Description

This textbook covers the theory and physical applications of linear algebra and of the calculus of several variables, particularly the exterior calculus. It uses the 'spiral' method of teaching ñ covering the same topic several times with increasing depth and range of application in order to give the reader an intuitive understanding of the subject.
