The course is one of the compulsory specialization
courses for students in the physics program and the course aims to introduce
the student to the concept of mathematical physics, matrices and determinants,
their properties and applications in physics,as well as the study of linear
equations and linear structures, and solving the problems of eigenvalues,
eigenvectors and vector space.The course also aims to make the student able to
solve differential equations of the first and second order and the methods used
for that and the physical applications related to them, Understand the concept
of complex numbers, their polar representation, the derivation and continuity
of complex functions, analytic functions, and Cauchy–Riemann equations.
Intended learning outcomes
By passing this course, the student will be able to distinguish between
matrices and determinants and determine the properties of each of them,The
learner can also realize the importance of eigenvalues and eigenvectors in
studying the quantum mechanics course later, and be able to solve linear differential
equations of the first and second order ، And to be aware of the relationship between coordinate systems, and the
ability to analyze physical problems and applications with the mathematical
