Starting from a clear, concise introduction, the powerful finite element and boundary element methods of engineering are developed for application to quantum mechanics. The reader is led through illustrative examples displaying the strengths of these methods using application to fundamental quantum mechanical problems and to the design/simulation of quantum nanoscale devices.
