This book offers supporting material for the comprehensive textbook
Mathematical Physics—A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations
authored by Sadri Hassani. The book covers mathematical
preliminaries and all of Part I in Hassani’s textbook. The
subjects covered here include the key topics necessary for
physicists to form a solid mathematical foundation: vectors and
linear maps, algebras, operators, matrices, and spectral
decomposition. In particular, the vector space concept is a central
unifying theme in later chapters of Hassani’s textbook. Detailed
solutions are provided to one third of the end-of-chapter exercises
in the first six chapters of his text. The present volume helps
upper-undergraduate and early postgraduate physics students deepen
their understanding of the mathematics that they encounter in
physics, learn physics more efficiently, and use mathematics with
more confidence and creativity. The content is thus presented
rigorously but remains accessible to physics students. New
exercises are also proposed, some with solutions, some without, so
that the total number of unsolved exercises remains unchanged. They
are chosen to help explain difficult concepts, amplify key points
in Hassani's textbook, or make further connections with
applications in physics. Taken together with Hassani's work, the
two form a self-contained set and the solutions make detailed
reference to Hassani's text. The solutions also refer to other
mathematics and physics textbooks, providing entry points to
further literature that finds a useful place in the physicist's
personal library.
