Course keywords: tensor analysis, group theory, probability, statistics Syllabus for Mathematical Methods for Physicists (2023) Mathematical Methods for Physicists is a one-semester course, emphasizing more advanced mathematical techniques for research explorations: (1) tensor analysis (chap 26) (2) probability (chap 30) (3) statistics (chap 31) (4) group theory (chap 28,29) It is important to maintain the balance between mathematical rigor and hands-on applications. While numerical methods are not listed explicitly, it will be integrated into other modules to facilitate complementary usage of analytic and numeric techniques. The tensor analysis is a warmup topics, encouraging in-class discussions and participation. I will adopt project-based learning to go over the topics: Probability and Statistics. The students are asked to finish a mini-project on these two subjects combining both analytic and numerical techniques. Finally, at the end of the semester, I would go over the most challenging subject: Group Theory. Textbook: Mathematical Methods for physics and engineering (3rd edition) by Riley, Hobson and Bence Classes: 13:20-16:20 on Mondays Physics Building R208 Grade: Final report is due on June 12 (Mon). Your grade is mainly determined by the final report on the chosen mini-project, weighted by in-class participation and performance.
