Mathematics is the language in which Physics is expressed. So, it is essential to have a firm grasp of Mathematics for a deeper understanding of Physical theories. This course, along with Mathematical Physics-I, is designed to equip the students with some of the basic mathematical tools. The main objectives of the course are to equip the students with the tools of Matrix analysis to give the students a working knowledge Fourier series, to train the students to solve ordinary differential equations, to make the students familiar with power series method and Frobenius method for solving ordinary differential equations, to train the students to solve partial differential equations using separation of variables, to make the students familiar with some of the important special functions that are frequently encountered in physics.

Course Objective:
Classical Mechanics is one of the strongest pillars on which classical physics is built; whereas Special Relativity forms one of the most crucial bases of modern physics. Without understanding the basic concepts of classical mechanics, it is almost impossible to understand their modern analogs, like quantum mechanics. The main objective of this course is to develop a familiarity with the physical concepts and mathematical techniques of classical mechanics, and then move towards understanding the notion of Special Relativity.
