PHYS 305 - Mathematical Physics I

3 Credits
Three lecture hours.

The content includes Complex numbers, and functions, ordinary differential equations, series. Applications to physics will be emphasized. This course or an equivalent course is required for physics and engineering Physics majors. The fundamental operations of vector analysis, scalar and vector products, differentiation of vectors, and the use of vector differential operators. These topic will be taught in the context of Physical applications in Classical Mechanics, Statistical Mechanics, Electrodynamics, and other fields of Physics.
