Mathematics instruction is often more effective when presented in a physical context. Based on the undergraduate Math Methods course he has taught for many years at Occidental College, the text encourages a symbiosis through which the physics illuminates the math, which in turn informs the physics. Schramm uses this insight to help develop students' physical intuition as he guides them through the mathematical methods required to study upper-level physics.
It then moves on to cover vector fields, analytic functions, linear algebra, function spaces, and differential equations. Appropriate for both classroom and self-study use, the text begins with a review of useful techniques to ensure students are comfortable with prerequisite material. Written in an informal and engaging style, it also includes short supplementary digressions ('By the Ways') as optional boxes showcasing directions in
