While teaching this subject, particularly in physics honours classes, we very often refer to various standard books for the various topics of Mathematical Physics. But none of these books is fully sufficient for, the preparation of different competitive examinations at national and state levels such as CSIR-UGC-NET/JRF, lIT-JAM, GATE, TIFR, JEST, BARC etc. In all these competitive examinations, the section of Mathematicat Physicscarries.a high percentage of weightage of the total marks as follows: + In every year CSIR-UGC-NET paper contains questions ofa least 30 to 35 marks from this section out 200 marks. * Inevery year GATE paper contains questions of at least 10 to 12 marks from this section out 100 marks. © In every year UT-JAM paper contains questions of at least 10 to 12 marks from this section out 100 marks. The purpose of the present book is to provide a brief discussion of every important topic of the Mathematical Physics syllabus. Each chapter contains a significant number of solved problems some of which contain subtle points, not explicit in the text and hence will help the students to attain a deeper understanding of the ideas presented in the book. Moreover, the problems that are asked in CSIR-UGC-NET and HT-JAM examinations till date, has been solved at the end of each chapter. A large variety of problems given with answers at the end of each chapter for the practice of the students, will surely help to grow self-confidence, Itis hoped that the book will be able to meet up all the requirements of the students preparing. for the. various competitive examinations. However, any constructive criticism and suggestions for the improvement of the book will always be highly appreciated. Much care has been taken to minimize the typographical errors, yet if any noticed, then your suggestions dre invited with a view to improve the book in future editions. 1 would like to thank my parents, family members, students, friends and specially Anwesha Chakraborty who have given constant support in the development of the book. Thanks are due to the unit of Career Endeavour Publications for making sincere efforts towards timely publication of the book. Last but not the list, a very special thanks to Mohammad Firoz for typing, formatting and designing of the book.
