Professor Lea's subject matter is more advanced, and more mathematical, but the appeal to the student's intuition and the enthusiasm of the text are similar, and to my mind very positive for someone seeing this perhaps for the first time, or repairing an inadequate grasp of the material from a prior exposure. I hope it is clear that I am a fan of this text.

SynopsisThis essential new text by Dr. Susan Lea will help physics undergraduate and graduate student hone their mathematical skills. Ideal for the one-semester course, MATHEMATICS FOR PHYSICISTS has been extensively class-tested at San Francisco State University--and the response has been enthusiastic from students and instructors alike. Because physics students are often uncomfortable using the mathematical tools that they learned in their undergraduate courses, MATHEMATICS FOR PHYSICISTS provides students with the necessary tools to hone those skills. Lea designed the text specifically for physics students by using physics problems to teach mathematical concepts.
