Notes and website information

‘Starred’ material

Some sections of the book are marked with a star. These contain more specialised or advanced material that is not required elsewhere in the book and may be omitted at a first reading.

Website

Any misprints or other necessary corrections brought to our attention will be listed on www.wiley.com/go/martin/mathsforphysicists. We would also be grateful for any other comments about the book.

Examples, problems and solutions

Worked examples are given in all chapters. They are an integral part of the text and are designed to illustrate applications of material discussed in the preceding section. There is also a set of problems at the end of each chapter. Some equations which are particularly useful in problem solving are highlighted in the text for ease of access and brief ‘one-line’ answers to most problems are given at the end of the book, so that readers may quickly check whether their own answer is correct. Readers may access the full solutions to all the odd-numbered problems at www.wiley.com/go/martin/mathsforphysicists. Full solutions to all problems are available to instructors at the same website, which also contains electronic versions of the figures.
