Mathematics for Physics I
courses.physics.illinois.edu › fa2016 › amasterThe mathematical prerequisites for the course are a sound grasp of un-dergraduate calculus (including the vector calculus needed for electricity and magnetism courses), linear algebra (the more the better), and competence at complex arithmetic. Fourier sums and integrals, as well as basic ordinary
Principles of Mathematical Physics
www.maths.ed.ac.uk › ~jmf › TeachingThis mathematical fact turns out to have an important physical consequence. Let x(t) be a physical trajectory for a particle in a force field for which x(0) ˘x0 is a point of equilibrium; that is, a point where the force field vanishes. Then if x˙(0) ˘0 then x(t) ˘ x0 for all t. Indeed, the constant trajectory x(t) ˘ x0 for all t obeys ...

This math is not horrible difficult, but it often (and quite reasonably) is challenging for students of introductory physics. It is often the first time they are called upon to actually use a lot of the math they took over several years of instruction in high school and ...
