Starkovich, Steven P.

The Structures of Mathematical PhysicsAn Introduction /[electronic resource] :by Steven P. Starkovich. - 1st ed. 2021. - XXII, 258 p. 86 illus.online resource.

Preface and Acknowledgements -- Sets and Relations -- Mappings and Functions -- Rings and Fields -- Linear Vector Spaces -- Algebras -- Basic Topology and Topological Groups -- Topological Vector Spaces -- Measure, Integration and Hilbert Space -- Operators and Spectra -- Annotated Bibliography and a Guide to Further Reading -- Index.

This textbook serves as an introduction to groups, rings, fields, vector and tensor spaces, algebras, topological spaces, differentiable manifolds and Lie groups --- mathematical structures which are foundational to modern theoretical physics. It is aimed primarily at undergraduate students in physics and mathematics with no previous background in these topics. Applications to physics --- such as the metric tensor of special relativity, the symplectic structures associated with Hamilton's equations and the Generalized Stokes's Theorem --- appear at appropriate places in the text. Worked examples, end-of-chapter problems (many with hints and some with answers) and guides to further reading make this an excellent book for self-study. Upon completing this book the reader will be well prepared to delve more deeply into advanced texts and specialized monographs in theoretical physics or mathematics.
