Many mathematical physics textbooks (like Arfken or Boisy) are excellent reference manuals—they show you how to solve an equation. Balakrishnan focuses on why specific mathematical structures appear in physics.
The official PDF is elusive (and legally gray to share). But the heart of the book—Balakrishnan’s teaching—is freely available on NPTEL. Start there, then buy the ebook if you need the polished, problem-solved reference. v balakrishnan mathematical physics pdf
