Synopsis
An introduction to the physical concepts and mathematical formations of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics designed as a textbook for courses at the graduate level but also suitable for advanced undergraduates. By limiting the scope of the text to the nonrelativistic theory, the authors are able to explore the basic concepts of quantum mechanics carefully while avoiding both the complications and unsatisfactory aspects of field theory. A knowledge of calculus and some familiarity with differential equations is assumed, as well as knowledge of basic undergraduate-level physics, including classical mechanics. The opening chapters suggest how the basic concepts of classical mechanics must be altered to explain many atomic-scale phenomena and lay the groundwork for the more formal, postulational approach to quantum mechanics which follows. The concluding part represents a considerable broadening of the viewpoint and of the scope of the problems that can be handled. Of special importance is the final chapter, dealing with quantum-statistical mechanics, wherein techniques that are playing an ever-increasing role in modern physics re developed. Throughout the text, emphasis is given to algebraic techniques and their power and elegance are clearly shown.
