Features: Includes two parts - Complex Analysis and Mathematical Physics Equations, balancing the completeness of the theoretical system with practical problem-solving techniques. Beyond the traditional content of mathematical physics methods textbooks for physics majors, it adds topics such as Fourier series and asymptotic series, M?bius transformations, general solutions of linear partial differential equations, qualitative properties of solutions for three basic types of mathematical physics equations, and invariance of the Laplace operator. It also supplements brief introductions to exterior differentiation, wavelet transforms, and nonlinear partial differential equations. Some content adopts new teaching approaches and provides a relatively complete summary of the "method of separation of variables," correcting several special function formulas in current reference books. It introduces the application of computer software Mathematica in complex function calculations. Includes exercises and solutions.
