Russell L. Herman
... a welcome and refreshing addition to a rich body of literature. ... should fit into the sophomore or junior year of a typical physics undergraduate curriculum. ... Engineers and chemistry majors, too, would benefit from taking such an intermediate-level course, perhaps even more so than from a higher-level one. Our own department at Howard University is considering a mid-level math methods course, and I would definitely recommend this textbook as well suited. A Course in Mathematical Methods for Physicists includes plenty of interesting worked-out examples, many of them quite realistic, and uses them to introduce concepts in a reasonable progression. ... Although the subject of mathematical methods has inspired many valuable texts, Herman's approach, motivated by the physics applications, is novel, seldom used by other authors. The myriad well-chosen worked-out examples and other strengths have earned my firm endorsement ... -Tristan Hubsch, Howard University, Washington, District of Columbia, USA, from Physics Today
