Do you plan on going into computational sciences in physics/chemistry/biology/math if so i suggest picking up a 'Numerical Recipes in' C/C/Fortran.Just to get started on your numericals engine earlier. If you just wanna do theory then I would wait for university plus that book is really OLD. I suggest picking up 'computational Beauty of Nature' Gary Flake or a University INtro to Calc text firsT(ie James Stewart) or some newer Mathphys bookI'm sorry, but this is the silliest comment I've heard about the Boas text.

For a math book? Anyone who has read my series on 'So You Want To Be A Physicist' would have noticed that I could not recommend this text any stronger. I would stake my reputation as a physicist in insisting that ANY physics, or physical science/engineering student should get this text without hesitation. It is presented in a clear and simple manner that any student who has had a complete calculus course can pick up. It is certainly meant for students to use even on their own before the encounter the mathematics necessary in classes such as QM and E&M. I have recommended this text many times over the years, and EVERYONE so far has indicated how valuable this text is. It is extremely irresponsible for anyone to make uninformed comment such as yours simply based on its publication date (as if mathematics goes out of date) without even looking at the content.

As someone who used it through my graduate school years, and continue to refer to it even as a practicing physicist, I would urge anyone who is majoring or thinking of majoring in physics to seriously consider getting this text. Zapperz: my post implied merely that if he were wanting to pick up a book NOW that perhaps that book is not best suited for him (because it is rather old so would use terminology that he would not understood.and i did glance at the book) you yourself said that it was aimed for people in 2nd-3rd year university. Also there are some books today that not only give theory but also code(Landau & Paez) I think alot of science students today should have programming as a skill. Robphys: I suggested CBN for simulation sciences not for undergrad physics. The poster is after all a highschool student whom seems to want to study math, and perhaps but not necessarily physics.

I wish i had CBN when i was going into university and it is the concepts of Computability that may be of interest to him. Zapperz: my post implied merely that if he were wanting to pick up a book NOW that perhaps that book is not best suited for him (because it is rather old so would use terminology that he would not understood.and i did glance at the book) you yourself said that it was aimed for people in 2nd-3rd year university. Also there are some books today that not only give theory but also code(Landau & Paez) I think alot of science students today should have programming as a skill.And you don't think I'm aware of that? Your advise was to ignore this text and pick up something newer, be it now, or later (would it be even 'older' later?). No advise could be WORSE than telling someone that regarding this text.

It is rather old and use terminology that he would not understand? Give me examples of the so-called 'old' terminolgy. I've used this text extensively, even TODAY, and I haven't come across a single terminology that is out of date.

And I have the 2nd edition AND the students solution manual sitting in front of me right now. Thanks for that link! I had been wanting to get a copy of this book but I didn't realize a new edition was coming out. If anyone has the new edition, please let us know how it compares to the previous editions.Differences between editions: -Tensors are more throughly explained in chapter 10, also the section of Matrix Diagonalization is now part of chapter 3 -Fourier integrals back to chapter 7, with Fourier series.

Also, Laplace transform and Dirac delta are moved back to the differential equations chapter.The probability chapter changes from 16 to 15 (since chapter 15 on integral transforms is now scattered around the book) -It's typed with LATEX! Overall, I feel the changes only made this text better. The ideas are more neatly tied up with the reorganization. Oh and, hello all, first post. Solution's Manual Hi!

I'm physics student, and I'm using the 'Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences' book, written byu Mary L. I don't complain about the text, but some explanation are really hard to understand. I have to keep a scholarship with an average of 90. I want to ask you if you know where I can find the solution manual for this book, to get a bit more of aid. I'm using the third edition, however, I heard that the second one is almost the same than the third edition. Could you help me?

In my opinion, Boas is a most awesome reference book of important mathematical techniques ('tools') that are commonly required in nearly all fields of physics. I am taking a class (Math Physics) that uses it.

It's actually not a required class for me either. I've mostly taken the class for the book (a fresh perspective on techniques never hurts either). If you're planning to be a physicist, I think this is an important book, but if you're still in High School, you might want to wait and see if a newer edition is out by the time you're taking courses. Alternatively, if you're planning on being a physicist, it would be nice to have Boas while you're taking the following required math classes (calc II, calc III, diff eq, applied analysis, complex analysis, linear algebra, and probably more) to accompany your math texts. I think a HS student could handle the first 3 chapters.But if you're not interested in trying (& hopefully succeeding) to become a physicist,then it's no point in adding it to your bookshelf. It's good.But for college. Daniel.I am not in high school, I am much older than that, but I think the book would be great for a high schooler who uses books other than the usually lame books schools use.

I won't go on a rant about state textbooks here but I recommend getting the book at a library before spending money on something one can't use. I have not attended college and I like this book. I have used one I borrowed from a library, the edition from 1983. Today I ordered one from Abebooks for $29.95 plus shipping and I know the list price is $130 or so. This is the 2005 edition. I will post if I receive the book and find it is not what I wanted, but I don't think there will be a problem since I ordered by ISBN. I have ordered through Abebooks before and have never been disappointed.

Abebooks is sort of a clearinghouse that small book stores can use to sell books. So I would not say that it is a book for just college students. The author explains things really well.

(Alibris is good too but I ordered this book through Abebooks).
