Feshbach Publishing has acquired the rights to this work from McGraw-Hill. Cambridge University Press did a terrific job reprinting the book using printing film supplied by McGraw-Hill.
Despite George Arfken's claim in 2002 that a paperback version was on it's way, no such version was ever planned. This book is used intensively over several decades by many people. I doubt that a paperback version would survive for long under such circumstances.
 A Classic but dated & expensive - paperback coming soon February 26, 2002

In response to questions from colleagues and students i'm posting this review.
This was the standard text many years ago.
Many current topics on mathematical Quantization and Stochastic Optimization are conspicuously abscent.
The publisher is working on a two Volume Paperback edition that will be available shortly, so save your money and buy this 2-vol set for one fifth the price.
A hard but superb book. January 8, 2002

Current physics students had less mathematical trainings than those did several decades ago, when computer wasn't popular. So this book is probably too hard to read through and to work on its problems. But if you force yourself, you will begin to appreciate the beauty of mathematics. The chapter about Green's function is escpecially good, never had a so vivid lecture on Green's function before. Actually, when I read this book, I felt Green's function is the kernel and the main bone of this book. It appears almost in every chapter. The price is pretty high, but if you choose physics as your career, it's worth to have this book, both for academic and entertaining purposes.
THE classic text August 1, 2001

The classic text, still excellent, tho' somewhat dated. Well worth having because (a) the physical viewpoint is helpful for theorists and easier for experimentalists, (b) the older viewpoint is different from that of more modern texts, and still worthwhile; multiple viewpoints increase understanding.
