Mathematical physics texts at the senior-graduate level are able to assume a degree of mathematical sophistication and knowledge of advanced physics not yet attained by students at the sophomore level. Yet such students, if given simple and clear explanations, can readily master the techniques we cover in this text. (They
Well, it turns out that classical physics is only an approximation of physics that works for large objects. In order to describe the behaviour of the building blocks of nature, we need a radically different approach that, as you’ll learn, leads to surprising and fascinating new phenomena: welcome to the beautiful world of quantum mechanics!

To explicate their view of how mathematics is used in modelling and problem solving in physics classes, they present the diagram in Fig. 1, called a model of mathematical modelling or a modelling cycle (see also, Redish, 2005; Redish & Smith, 2008), and describe the modelling process having the following steps:
Physical– mathematical models are used for logical and structural integration of mathematics to describe the necessary laws and functional aspects of space–time relationships.
