GOOD/Very Good copy or so, with an old crease in the front cover, and a 1/4" tear in the middle-right edge of the front wrapper that goes through the first few pp (in decreasing lengths). __+__ "In quantum mechanics, a Slater determinant is an expression that describes the wave function of a multi-fermionic system that satisfies anti-symmetry requirements, and consequently the Pauli principle, by changing sign upon exchange of two electrons (or other fermions). It is named for John C. Slater, who introduced the determinant in 1929 as a means of ensuring the antisymmetry of a wave function, although the wave function in the determinant form first appeared independently in Heisenberg's and Dirac's papers three years earlier."--"Slater Determinant".
