Some Mathematical Methods of PhysicsThis well-rounded, thorough treatment for advanced undergraduates and graduate students introduces basic concepts of mathematical physics involved in the study of linear systems. The text emphasizes eigenvalues, eigenfunctions, and Green's functions. Prerequisites include differential equations and a first course in theoretical physics. The three-part presentation begins with an exploration of systems with a finite number of degrees of freedom (described by matrices). In part two, the concepts developed for discrete systems in previous chapters are extended to continuous systems. New concepts useful in the treatment of continuous systems are also introduced. The final part examines approximation methods — including perturbation theory, variational methods, and numerical methods — relevant to addressing most of the problems of nature that confront applied physicists. Two Appendixes include background and supplementary material. 1960 edition. |

1.8 that nonsingular matrices have the properties mentioned earlier in this section for nonzero numbers. Thus, the product of two nonsingular matrices is nonsingular (this is a stronger statement than that the product is nonzero).

A nonsingular matrix may be characterized by the statement that any column y can be written as a linear superposition of the columns of the matrix. To proceed further, it is useful to introduce the concept of linear independence.
