math physics texts



Thanks for all the suggestions. Here is the list of text books
covering mathematical physics at approximately the 1st year graduate
school level. I've ignored introductory level books for the most part
and books with titles like 'boundary value problems' (which do
overlap in content) and books in applied mathematics (of which there
are dozens). In addition to suggestions from PHYS-L I've searched
Amazon.com, most of the major science publishing companies web sites
and the Indiana University system-wide electronic card catalog.

Here is the list so far (no particular order):
