Mathematical Physics

The chief aim of this book is to meet the requirements of students of B.Sc. Honours (Physics) and M.Sc. of various Indian Universities. The subject-matter is presented in a very systematic and logical manner. Every endeavour has been made to make the content simple and lucid as far as possible.The demand of Mathematical Physics by the students and teachers has encouraged me to revise the text book.

The entire book is rewritten in such a way that it can cover the syllabus of B.Sc. (H) Physics, B.Sc.(H) Electronics, and M.Sc. (Physics) of various universities. The contents of the book is divided into five units. Each unit is further divided into simpler and short chapters, so that readers can follow the subject matter easily. The text is very lucid and simple. Four Solved Question Papers of Delhi University, 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th Semesters, 2012 are included at the end of the textbook.

This book should satisfy both average and brilliant students. It would help the students to get high grades in their examination and at the same time would arouse greater intellectual curiosity in them.

This title features: Kinematics of fluids in motion; Equations of motion of inviscid fluid; One-dimensional inviseid incompressible flow (Bernoulli's equation and its applications); Motion in two-dimensions and sources and sinks; General theory of irrotational motion; Motion of cylinders; and, Irrotational motion in three dimensions (motion of a sphere). It includes: Stokes' stream function; Vortex motion (rectilinear vortices); Waves; General theory of stress and rate of strain; The navier stokes equations and the energy equation; Dimensional analysis, dimensionless constants (numbers); Similarity of flows; Laminar flow of viscous incompressible fluids; Boundary layer theory; Discontinuous motion; and, Additional topics and solved examples on the entire book.
