An essential textbook on the mathematical methods used in geophysics and space physics Graduate students in the natural sciences—including not only geophysics

Presents the experimental results while explaining the underlying physics on the basis of simple reasoning and agumentation. Assumes only basic knowledge of of

For physics students interested in the mathematics they use, and for math students interested in seeing how some of the ideas of their discipline find realizati

Written as both a textbook and a handy reference, this text deliberately avoids complex mathematics assuming only basic familiarity with geodynamic theory and c
