Book Description

ISBN-10: 3540070508 | ISBN-13: 978-3540070504 | Publication Date: January 2, 1971

This paperback edition, originally published as a two-volume set in "Grundlehren der Mathematischen Wissenschaften" has made this classical compendium of quantitative methods in quantum mechanics more accessible to students. In addition to problems of classical and relativistic quantum mechanics, this volume contains methods of approximation, problems in radiation theory & scattering theory. "Choice" stated that the original edition: .,"probably represents the best collection of detailed solution for problems in quantum mechanics. The style, readibility, and quality of presentation are excellent; the level is appropriate for an advanced under- graduate or graduate course in quantum mechanics. These volumes will be a valuable reference for faculty and students and will serve as an excellent supplementary text."

Editorial Reviews

Review

From the reviews: "Anyone who has taught a course of quantum mechanics knows the difficulty of providing practical examples which are within the mathematical competence of the students and can be completed in a reasonable time. In this book will be found 219 problems, together with their solutions, which will greatly extend the repertoire. (...) The first volume deals exclusively with one-body problems without spin. (...) In the second volume the problems cover a wider range and include illustrations of the introduction of spin, the interactions between two and three particles, quantum statistics and the Dirac relativistic equation with shorter sections on non-stationary problems and radiation theory. (...)" Nature, Sept. 10, 1971.  "The student who can master these problems will have a good grasp of the practical applications of quantum theory and, therefore, of the basic concepts as well. I recommend the book unreservedly." The Australian Physicist, May 1972. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.
