Sources to learn about Greens functions For a physics major, what are the best books/references on Greens functions for self-studying?
My mathematical background is on the level of Mathematical Methods in the physical sciences by Mary Boas.
 A: You may want to refer to Jackson's 'Classical Electrodynamics' for several examples of solutions using Green functions. I also found chapter 7 of 'Mathematics for classical and quantum physics' by Byron and Fuller quite helpful. Its title itself is 'Green functions'.
A:

*Sommerfeld.  The sixth volume of his physics series is 
pure maths, PDE's of Physics and is a wonderful physicists' view of
the maths.
