Features: This book is rewritten based on the author's "Mathematical Methods in Physics" (Second Edition) and has undergone significant changes compared to the second edition, reflecting recent developments in mathematical methods in physics. The book is logically clear, linguistically fluent, and rigorously argued, embodying the principle of "making the profound accessible and applying knowledge to practice." The content includes an introduction to complex functions, special functions and the Dirac delta function, mathematical physics equations (solved using methods such as wave propagation, averaging, separation of variables, integral transforms, Green's functions, conformal mapping, and variational methods), as well as several new mathematical methods in physics. The book is accompanied by a large number of exercises, and answers and hints to the exercises are provided at the end.
