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.
