Sommario/riassunto

Mathematical Tools for Physisists is a unique collection of 18 review articles, each one written by a renowned expert of its field. Their professional style will be beneficial for advanced students as well as for the scientist at work. The first may find a comprehensive introduction while the latter use it as a quick reference.The contributions range from



fundamental methods right up to the latest applications, including:- Algebraic/ analytic / geometric methods- Symmetries and conservation laws- Mathematical modelling- Quantum computationGreat attention was paid to
