Mathematics for Physics: An Illustrated Handbook – PDF

This e-book, titled “Mathematics for Physics: An Illustrated Handbook” (PDF) and written by Adam Marsh, offers a unique approach to understanding the mathematics used in theoretical physics that goes beyond what is typically taught in undergraduate physics or math courses. Rather than focusing solely on proofs, derivations, historical context, and practical tools, the book instead emphasizes the visualization and definition of concepts and their relationships, providing alternative notations, discussing common confusions, and including relevant theorems and facts. The book also places particular emphasis on geometry, with detailed illustrations throughout and notable chapters on topics such as Clifford algebras, Riemannian geometry, and fiber bundles. The primary physical models explored are general relativity, gauge theories, and spinors. Please note that this e-book is only available in PDF format and does not include any associated access codes.
