I am working on reading through these books:
- Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry: Jay Martin Anderson
- div, grad, curl and all that: H. M. Schey
I find them both very exciting. I need to get more into the theory both on QM related mathematics and on vector calculus. They contain exercises and solutions. So far I can recommend them both strongly. Most people would probably say Anderson is a bit dated but I think it's still perfectly recommendable.
Best passage from Schey so far:
"Gauss' law is
∬SE⋅ˆn dS=qϵ0.
If you don't understand this equation, don't panic."
Isn't this just wonderful? All people coming from a German education background will know
why I am posting this.
