Problems and Solutions in Theoretical & Mathematical Physics: Advanced Level Willi-hans Steeb 2e édition

A collection of problems with detailed solutions which should be useful to students and research workers in mathematics, physics, engineering and other sciences. The topics range in difficulty from elementary to advanced level. Almost all the problems are solved in detail and most of them are self-contained. All relevant definitions are given. Students can learn important principles and strategies required for problem solving. Teachers should find this text useful as a supplement, since important concepts and techniques are developed through the problems. The material has been tested in the author's lectures given around the world. The work is divided into two volumes. Volume I presents the introductory problems for undergraduate and advanced undergraduate students. In this volume, Volume II, the more advanced problems, together with detailed solutions, are collected, to meet the needs of graduate students and researchers. The problems included cover most of the new fields in theoretical and mathematical physics, such as Lax representation, Backlund transformation, soliton equations, Lie-algebra-valued differential forms, the Hirota technique, the Painleve test, the Bethe ansatz, the Yang-Baxter relation, chaos, fractals, complexity, and so on.
