[Johannes · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book provides a satisfactory mathematical background for undergraduate physics courses, but not for graduate courses, and certainly not for (theoretical) research. I give it a rating of 3 stars because it does cover a reasonable range of topics, but I found a lot of the explanations unsatisfactory. In retrospect I wish my professor had chosen the traditional text by Arfken. I do occasionally use this book as a reference, and sometimes it does not disappoint.
