Quantum Mechanics (Physics)

From Book News, Inc.
This edition is a reprint in one volume of the English translation of Mecanique Quantique, published in two volumes in the US by Wiley in 1958. The books resulted from courses given at the Center of Nuclear Studies at Saclay during the 1950s, and they are esteemed for the clarity and coherence of their presentation. Volume I (which was translated from the French by G.H. Temmer) contains chapters addressing various aspects of formalism and its interpretation, and simple systems. Volume II (translated by J. Potter) addresses symmetries and invariance. The combined index for both volumes is at the end of this edition.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR


Book Description
Simple enough for students yet sufficiently comprehensive to serve as a reference for working physicists, this classic text is celebrated for its clarity and coherence of presentation as well as the author’s fluid and literate style. Subjects include a detailed treatment of formalism and its interpretation, an analysis of simple systems, symmetries and invariance, methods of approximation, and a review of the elements of relativistic quantum mechanics. "Strongly recommended"—American Journal of Physics.



Language Notes
Text: English (translation)
Original Language: French


The publisher, John Wiley & Sons
Separates essential underlying principles of quantum mechanics from specific applications and practical examples, dealing with each in different sections. Chapters emphasize principles; complementary sections supply applications. Provides a qualitative introduction to quantum mechanical ideas; a systematic presentation of the mathematical tools and postulates, including a discussion of their physical content and applications. Applications are not interdependent and can be used to focus on either physics or chemistry.
