Physics: Mathematical Methods of Physics

This course provides you with advanced mathematical tools and methods essential in physics. You will learn about analytic functions, differential equations, integral transforms, and Green's functions. These methods can be applied to concrete physical systems.

By participating in this course, you will gain a deeper understanding of the mathematical foundations underlying many physical theories and applications.

The course is an advanced physics course that can be part of a Master's programme in physics or astrophysics. It can also be taken as a standalone course.

Course content:

• Analytic functions
• Special functions
• Differential equations
• Fourier and Laplace transforms
• Green's functions

The teaching consists of lectures and exercises, where you will gain both theoretical knowledge and hands-on training. The lectures provide you with a solid theoretical foundation, while the exercises allow you to apply the theory to actual problems.

The course concludes with a written exam that tests your understanding and ability to use the learned methods.
