Mathematical Methods for Physicists

The goal of this course is to present upper level undergraduates in physics, with further understanding of the mathematical techniques used in solving problems in physics.  We will go above and beyond the mathematics learned in standard mechanics, Electrodynamics and Elementary Quantum Mechanics.  Special topics in this course include, but are not limited to Vector and Tensor Analysis, Matrix Algebra, Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations, Quantum methods, and Relativity.  The specific course syllabus, with information on grading and evaluation of performance, can be found below.  Check the calendar for any announcements.
