4.0 out of 5 stars An Easy and comprehansive introduction to the subject
This book consists of three parts. Part1 begins with an introduction on the many body theory and introducing the idea of second quantization. Part2 focuses on relativistic quantum mechanics through relativistic wave equations. The last part is an introduction to quantum field theory using some results from part2. The simple presentation of the subject and the detailed...

3.0 out of 5 stars A nice review of the material, but avoid the Kindle version
I agree with the first reviewer, this is a good overview book.

However, the Kindle version has terrible formating for the math equations (a random example: equation 1.1.9 is completely unreadable). I have the latest DX, so this is not a matter of reading a large-formated text on a smaller Kindle. It is like reading a very bad xerox-copy from the early...

The simple presentation of the subject and the detailed math involved makes this book a comfortable one for a begginer.

I agree with the first reviewer, this is a good overview book.

However, the Kindle version has terrible formating for the math equations (a random example: equation 1.1.9 is completely unreadable). I have the latest DX, so this is not a matter of reading a large-formated text on a smaller Kindle. It is like reading a very bad xerox-copy from the early 1980s. Trying to read through the book ends up costing a lot of time guessing what various symbols are supposed to be. What is so shocking is that Amazon sells the Kindle version at very nearly the same cost as a hard-copy, so you are paying near full price for a far, far inferior copy.

This sort of very poor formating quality shouldn't be acceptable from such a large company, but there it is. Given the high-quality Amazon usually shows in customer-service, this is incredibly disappointing.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is just what i want, November 19, 2011
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This is a very good book for first year graduate students or advanced undergraduates. My phD research field is in condensed matter theory. This book provides essential content about the advanced quantum mechanics knowlegde that is needed in my area, including the relativistic quantum mechanics and the relativistic quantum field. I think it is good for a first year graduate student to go through this book to get essential knowledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars very good introduction to rqm, April 17, 2011

I use this book as a reference to my graduate level quantum mechanics course. For that purpose, it's excellent. I came across Schwabl's first book "Quantum Mechanics" as an undergraduate and loved his style of presentation.

3.0 out of 5 stars numerical methods for particles in a box?, September 16, 1999
By A Customer
Well to tell you the truth actually , your book is a complete study about quantum mechanics ....

Thanks for your book , i got a good result in my exams but my really problem is to find a topic about the above topic......
