A Textbook of Mathematical Physics – I

Product Overview & Details

This textbook has been designed as per the Common Minimum Syllabus prescribed for Odisha University and other Universities and Colleges under the recommended National Education Policy 2020 in Odisha and other states. 

Mathematical Physics-I is a comprehensive textbook tailored for undergraduate students. The book provides a solid mathematical foundation essential for understanding and solving physical problems. It systematically introduces the tools of calculus, vector analysis, differential equations, and coordinate systems, with a clear focus on their application to real-world physics.

Divided into two broad units, the book covers essential concepts of Single and Multivariable Calculus, Taylor and Binomial Expansions and the Theory of Ordinary Differential Equations in Unit I. Unit II offers an extensive treatment of Vector Algebra and Calculus, Scalar and Vector Fields, Integral Theorems, Coordinate Transformations and Applications to Physical Motion.

With a balance between theory and application, this book is ideal for students preparing for university exams and developing problem-solving skills in mathematical physics.
