Editorial Review:
The third edition of this highly acclaimed undergraduate textbook is suitable for teaching all the mathematics for an undergraduate course in any of the physical sciences. As well as lucid descriptions of all the topics and many worked examples, it contains over 800 exercises. New stand-alone chapters give a systematic account of the 'special functions' of physical science, cover an extended range of practical applications of complex variables, and give an introduction to quantum operators. Further tabulations, of relevance in statistics and numerical integration, have been added. In this edition, half of the exercises are provided with hints and answers and, in a separate manual available to both students and their teachers, complete worked solutions. The remaining exercises have no hints, answers or worked solutions and can be used for unaided homework; full solutions are available to instructors on a password-protected web site, www.cambridge.org/9780521679718.

Wonderful general math text for quick reference  2008-09-20
I bought this book a few years ago when I was studying physics in University, I've now switched to engineering and I still use this book regularly. I wouldn't think it a very good book for a text, but it is a wonderful reference book. The entries are short(generally a couple of pages) but in depth with references to other sections to lean more. The book is full of examples and uses straight-forward explanations of techniques and their physical interpretation. I highly recommend this title for anyone looking for a good quick math reference.
Mathematical Methods book  2008-01-19
Very good book. Wide range of contents and written in British style, which may seem strange to some.
Reviewing Mathematical Methods for Physics and Engineering: A Comprehensive Guide 2007-11-17
The book was in excellent conditions and its content have been very useful. This is the book with a high level but at the same time easier to follow and understand. The examples shown are illustrative enough to consider that the topic was completely covered and understood.
clear exposition of practical material 2007-10-17
Beautifuly organized compendium of mathematical tools which are daily bread and butter of every theoretical physicst. Excellent for first year graduate students wanting to pursue career in any branch of theoretical physics.
The main advantages which distinguishes this classic from others is clear and conscise pedagogical style and excellent selection of topics which are being discussed fully and without sacrifising mathematical rigour.
However for advanced students this text may sometimes bore with overdetailed explanations and minor details.
Summing up everything, if you wanna learn mathphys and want to start you are in the right place.
comprehensive AND comprehensible 2007-10-15
I've been teaching an upper-level course in math methods of physics on and off for thirty-five years or so. This is as good a text as I've found. In fact, I've been using this book since it began life as a much smaller volume by Riley alone. It has always provided a down-to-earth exposition of applicable mathematics. Now it provides more than ever, include two nice chapters on group theory, with more problems than the previous editions.
Despite its broad coverage, it is not an encyclopedia. Individual sections are thorough, well illustrated by examples, and comprehensible. Yes, I might have organized some of the material somewhat differently. But that is largely a matter of taste.
The reviewer who alleges that one must have mastered a lot of math to benefit from this book clearly has not read the first chapter. The book by Boas with which he compares it is a) less comprehensive, b) at a lower level overall, c) and a lot more expensive.
At $63, this volume is a real bargain.
