Course Objectives

  • The main objective of this course is to familiarize students with a range of mathematical methods that are essential for solving advanced problems in theoretical physics.
  • The laws of physics are often expressed through the relatively complex mathematical apparatus.
  • This course is intended to give mathematical tools necessary for a better understanding of the later courses in physics such as classical electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, solid-state physics, and statistical physics.

Learning Outcomes

  • Perform algebra of complex numbers
  • Express analytic complex function as power series.
  • Identify the isolated singularities of a function and determine the types of singularity
  • Calculate the Laplace Transform of basic functions using the definition
  • Able to solve complex integrals
  • Use the residue theorem to compute some definite integrals
  • Use Scilab, Matlab and Python to solve Physical as well as mathematical problems
