Physics 571: Mathematical Methods for Physics#

Welcome to Phys 571 - Mathematical Methods for Physics! This is the main documentation page for the course. For more class information, please see the Syllabus: Physics 571.

This website, hosted on Read The Docs, will be used to collect and display additional information about the course, including:

and various class notes. These should also be available through the navigation menu (which might hidden if your display is not sufficiently wide).

These documents are built using JupyterBook (see JupyterBook Demonstration) and include all of the source code needed to generate the figure, plots etc. For example, to see how a figure was made, look in the preceding code cell. The complete source code for this documentation is available at wsu-courses/physics-571-math-methods.
