Differential Equations of Mathematical Physics
by Max Lein
Publisher: arXiv 2015
Number of pages: 198
Description:
These lecture notes are aimed at mathematicians and physicists alike. It is not meant as an introductory course to PDEs, but rather gives an overview of how to view and solve differential equations that are common in physics. Among others, I cover Hamilton's equations, variations of the Schroedinger equation, the heat equation, the wave equation and Maxwell's equations.

Physics, Topology, Logic and Computation: A Rosetta Stoneby John C. Baez, Mike Stay - arXiv
There is extensive network of analogies between physics, topology, logic and computation. In this paper we make these analogies precise using the concept of 'closed symmetric monoidal category'. We assume no prior knowledge of category theory.
