Review: Awesome resource for serious physics students - It seems that most negative reviews argue that it has a huge amount of mathematics in a short book, but that is exactly was it was designed to be. As physics students know too well, professors often expect you to know - or at least be able to learn on your own - a certain subset of fairly complicated mathematics that physicists call upon most frequently. This book is WAY shorter than the traditional textbook that we used in my "mathematics for physicists" course, but was infinitely more clear and helpful. This is a book that one can use on their own as needed to truly learn the math being used to simplify or defend a professor as he or she moves through a proof. It's the math they assume you learned somewhere, in a beautifully clear and compact form. Shankar is up there with Griffiths for his ability to make a complex topic clear. Its small and light enough to carry with you wherever. I love love love this book!!!
Review: Get this for your junior hight and high school aged kids. - Its a good intro book to many of the key subject matters needed for for university. Every high school library should have one.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Hält was es verspricht
*by P***D on 1 March 2017*

In diesem Buch werden die mathematischen Grundlagen für ein Physikstudium beschrieben. Der Autor schreibt gewohnt frisch und mitunter auch witzig. Es gelingt ihm meiner Meinung nach sehr gut auch die schwierigeren Themen anschaulich zu erklären. Im Text sind einfache Aufgaben eingebunden, die das Verständnis erleichtern. Ich habe das Buch in kurzer Zeit von vorne bis hinten gelesen und alle Aufgaben gerechnet. Für mich war das Buch wie vom Autor beschrieben eine Trainingseinheit in allen Gebieten der Mathematik, die ich während meines Physikstudiums und meiner Arbeit in der Theoretischen Physik benötigte. Auch wenn ich das Buch zum Ende meines Studiums gelesen habe und daher in vielen der beschriebenen Themen schon versiert war, bin ich der Meinung, dass jeder Physikstudent nach dem zweiten Semester das Buch ähnlich zügig und gewinnbringend wie ich lesen kann. Ich empfehle das Buch jedem Studenten, der sich entweder auf eine Prüfung in den Mathematischen Methoden der Naturwisenschaften vorbereitet oder der sich (vielleicht während des Besuchs von Vorlesungen der Theoretischen Physik) etwas unsicher im Umgang mit seinem mathematischen "Werkzeug" fühlt. Das Buch versteht es, einen sehr schnell auf einen Stand zu bringen, auf dem man grundlegende wissenschaftliche Rechnungen anstellen kann. Meine vollste Empfehlung an alle naturwissenschaftlich Interessierten. Wem dieses Buch gefällt, der sollte auch die anderen Werke des Autors lesen. R. Shankar ist ein Meister im Schreiben von Lehrbüchern für den normalen Studenten oder an Physik Interessierten. Ich kann jedem meine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung aller von ihm verfassten Lehrbücher geben. Vom "Basic Training in Mathematics" bis zum anspruchsvolleren aber wunderschönen "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" sind aller Werke ein Genuss für jeden, der sich intensiv mit Physik auseinandersetzen möchte.
