33-759 Introduction to Mathematical Physics I

12 units, Carnegie Mellon University

This course is an introduction to methods of mathematical analysis used in solving physical problems. Emphasis is placed both upon the generality of the methods, through a variety of sample problems, and upon their underlying principles. Topics normally covered include matrix algebra normal modes, diagonalization, symmetry properties, complex variables and analytic functions, differential equations Laplaces equation and separation of variables, special functions and their analytic properties, orthogonal systems of functions.
