Methods of Mathematical Physics by Harold Jeffreys
This well-known text and reference contains an account of those parts of mathematics that are most frequently needed in physics. As a working rule, it includes methods which have applications in at least two branches of physics. The authors have aimed at a high standard of rigour and have not accepted the often-quoted opinion that 'any argument is good enough if it is intended to be used by scientists'. At the same time, they have not attempted to achieve greater generality than is required for the physical applications: this often leads to considerable simplification of the mathematics. Particular attention is also paid to the conditions under which theorems hold. Examples of the practical use of the methods developed are given in the text: these are taken from a wide range of physics, including dynamics, hydrodynamics, elasticity, electromagnetism, heat conduction, wave motion and quantum theory. Exercises accompany each chapter.-

From reviews of the first edition: 'There must be very few major techniques in theoretical physics which are not explained here and illustrated by some genuine examplesIt remains, and is likely to continue for many years, an almost indispensable work of reference for anyone attempting research in theoretical physics.'
