A Mathematics Primer for Physics Graduate Students
by Andrew E. Blechman
2007
Number of pages: 78
Description:
The author summarizes most of the more advanced mathematical trickery seen in electrodynamics and quantum mechanics in simple and friendly terms with examples. Mathematical tools such as tensors or differential forms, intended to make the calculations much simpler, are covered in this text.

The Octonions
by John C. Baez - University of California
The octonions are the largest of the four normed division algebras. The author describes them and their relation to Clifford algebras and spinors, Bott periodicity, projective and Lorentzian geometry, Jordan algebras, and the exceptional Lie groups.

Topics in Spectral Theory
by Vojkan Jaksic - McGill University
The subject of these lecture notes is spectral theory of self-adjoint operators and some of its applications to mathematical physics. The main theme is the interplay between spectral theory of self-adjoint operators and classical harmonic analysis.
