About this title

Synopsis

This unique book, written by a leading Soviet theorist, is not a textbook of quantum mechanics but rather a compendium of the "tricks of the trade"-the methods that all practicing theoretical physicists use but few have set down in writing.

About the Author

A.B. Migdal was head of the theoretical section of the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute, a professor at the Moscow Engineering Physics Institute, and a member of the Academy of Sciences in Russia.
