The intent of this note is to introduce students to many of the
mathematical techniques useful in their undergraduate physics education long
before they are exposed to more focused topics in physics. Topics covered
includes: ODEs and SHM, Linear Algebra, Harmonics - Fourier Series, Function
Spaces, Complex Representations, Transform Techniques, Vector Analysis and EM
Waves, Oscillations in Higher Dimensions.
The purpose of this note is to present standard and widely used mathematical methods in Physics, including
functions of a complex variable, differential equations, linear algebra and special functions associated with eigenvalue problems of ordinary and
partial differential operators.

The main focus of this note is on theoretical
developments rather than elaborating on concrete physical systems, which the
students are supposed to encounter in regular physics courses. Topics covered
includes: Newtonian Mechanics, Lagrangian Mechanics, Hamiltonian Mechanics,
Hilbert Spaces, Operators on Hilbert spaces and Quantum mechanics.
