Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications provides a
clear, balanced and modern introduction to the subject. Written
with the student’s background and ability in mind the book
takes an innovative approach to quantum mechanics by combining the
essential elements of the theory with the practical applications:
it is therefore both a textbook and a problem solving book in one
self-contained volume. Carefully structured, the book starts with
the experimental basis of quantum mechanics and then discusses its
mathematical tools. Subsequent chapters cover the formal
foundations of the subject, the exact solutions of the
Schrödinger equation for one and three dimensional potentials,
time-independent and time-dependent approximation methods, and
finally, the theory of scattering.
The text is richly illustrated throughout with many worked
examples and numerous problems with step-by-step solutions designed
to help the reader master the machinery of quantum mechanics. The
new edition has been completely updated and a solutions
manual is available on request.
Suitable for senior undergradutate courses and graduate
courses.
