ISBN/ASIN: 0124974503
ISBN-13: 9780124974500
Number of pages: 338
Description:
This monograph is the result of an attempt to understand the role played by special function theory in the formalism of mathematical physics. It demonstrates explicitly that special functions which arise in the study of mathematical models of physical phenomena are in many cases dictated by symmetry groups admitted by the models.

We consider integrable Hamiltonian systems in a general setting of invariant submanifolds which need not be compact. This is the case a global Kepler system, non-autonomous integrable Hamiltonian systems and systems with time-dependent parameters.

Introduction to Mathematical Physicsby Alex Madon - Wikibooks
The goal of this book is to propose an ensemble view of modern physics. The coherence between various fields of physics is insured by following two axes: a first is the universal mathematical language; the second is the study of the N body problem.
