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.

Harmonic Oscillators and Two-by-two Matrices in Symmetry Problems in Physicsby Young Suh Kim (ed.) - MDPI AG
With a degree of exaggeration, modern physics is the physics of harmonic oscillators and two-by-two matrices. Indeed, they constitute the basic language for the symmetry problems in physics, and thus the main theme of this journal.
