Math Methods for Physics

This weekly study track will be diving into mathematical tools that can be applied to physics problems. The main text for this study track will be Mathematical Methods in the Physical Sciences by Mary L. Boas, third edition, but we may use other resources as needed. Each week, we will pick some book material to cover and/or problems to solve and discuss.

These meetings will be primarily question-driven, meaning that we seek to answer each other's questions about problems/topics that we have already given some effort to understand. When we cover new material from the book, at least one volunteer will give a quick summary of that material at the beginning of the meeting before we dive into individual questions. When we solve problems, individuals will present any blockers they had so that the group can help unblock them.
