Useful Mathematical Techniques for Physicists (original) (raw)

In this ever-expanding document, I will list and very briefly explain various mathematical techniques and formulae that are particularly useful to physicists. Students in 300 level physics classes and above should familiarize themselves with these, as they sometimes tend to pop up in the middle of calculations; hence getting to know them ahead of time is quite useful and can make your grasp of advanced material run more smoothly. Links to more detailed online discussions will be provided where appropriate. The material is presented in no particular order, however some topics may refer to earlier ones. I hope that this document is useful to students as a short study guide as well as a quick reference.
