Mathematical Methods for Physics & Engineering - Student Solutions Manual (3rd, 06) by Riley, K F - Hobson, M P [Paperback (2006)] Third Edition

A classic for every right reason! Would recommend this to any freshman aiming to study physics at the post grad level and looking to get ahead of future classes. Well written, with a plethora of great problem sets to anchor your journey towards deeper understanding of fundamental physics concepts! Worth every dollar!

I am very pleased to have both this and the student guide in my library. I am planning on getting the etextbook as well for convenience in carrying around. The book itself is one of the (physically) heaviest books I own!

I am very pleased with the book, the good quality of the packaging and delivery.Keep it up!!

This book appears to end my quest for a good book to fill my (many) gaps in mathematics. I have studied a few topics from it, and I find it quite understandable. The index in the end is also quite good to look for something specific. The content itself is 5-stars for me.I do have to deduct one star for the book's binding. I have the softcover version, so maybe this doesn't apply to the hardcover, but the binding is pretty bad. I have had the books for only a couple of weeks, and some pages are already coming loose. I don't think I have been careless with it or anything. Of course, the book is very thick, but still. I have Dover books that are also softcover, and as thick as this one, yet all the pages stay in their place.In summary, I recommend this book, but know you'll need to have it rebound.

Product is for personal enrichment

This is probably the best math methods book out there. I'm only confused by its characterization as an undergraduate-level book. It is definitely graduate level, particularly in later chapters starting with DE's and complex analysis applications. My guess it is so lucidly well-written, and with available solutions that it is perfectly accessible to senior undergraduates as well!

Great book, have good examples , and exercises are excelent aplications of theory. Can be a little difficult in the begin, if didnt have see the point in other's books

This is a wonderfully written reference for any math class. Abstract topics are explained in a manner in which Engineers easily pick them up. I went through my entire BS pretending to understand math and since we started using this book for my entry level graduate class, I ACTUALLY feel like I understand some of this stuff.If your instructor recommends this book, props to him, and lucky you!If you just like math and wound up here without being forced to buy this book, I would get it anyway because its so good.

great text

Esse é O livro de matemática para quem quer dar uma revisada em algum tópio ou aprender um tópico em específico que não viu na graduação

El libro llegó en buen tiempo, bien empacado y protegido, sólo tuvo un retraso de 1 día, pero es nada. En cuanto a la calidad de impresión, es excelente, justo lo esperado. El contenido es muy extenso y abarca desde algebra, pasando por calculo, números complejos, series y limites, algebra vectorial, matrices y espacios vectoriales, calculo vectorial, ecuaciones diferenciales, operadores cuánticos, variables complejas, tensores, métodos numéricos, teoría de grupos, probabilidad y estadística. El primer capítulo sobre Algebra incluye al final métodos de prueba por inducción y contradicción. Aunque el contenido tiene cierto enfoque de aplicación a los campos de la física e ingeniería, siento que se queda algo corto.Sin duda es un libro de referencia que sirve de repaso o de guía si se desea profundizar utilizando otros textos y requiere tener un dominio y conocimientos previos para su total entendimiento.Si deseas profundizar en los temas del libro, podrían ser utiles los libros de Serge Lang: Algebra, Introduction to Linear Algebra y A First Course in Calculus; o Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning de los rusos A. D. Aleksandrov y Kolmorogov.

Badly structured and formatted. Not useful as handbook because of the lack of proper formatting with paragraphs, theorems, definitions etc... Important theorems are just stated in plain text instead of separated into their own boxes. Too informal and often makes sloppy and sometimes incorrect arguments to derive stuff. Should at least include references to more rigorous derivations when it makes use of informal derivations.

The Product was delivered in the best condition, The content of this book is essential for students who are pursuing their undergraduate in Physics. This book can be used to review math concepts for solving purposes as it starts from what a student has typically learnt in their class 11th and 12th in the Indian setup. Do purchase this book and get your concepts in math cleared!!!
