Essential Quantum Mechanics by Gary Bowman (English) Hardcover Book

Description: Essential Quantum Mechanics by Gary Bowman A concise, lucid development of the fundamental structure of quantum mechanics from a thoroughly modern perspective. Focusing on physical and mathematical understanding, with over 60 problems, this compact introduction is invaluable for students and researchers in physics and other fields where quantum mechanics plays an important role. FORMAT Hardcover LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Quantum mechanics - central not only to physics, but also to chemistry, materials science, and other fields - is notoriously abstract and difficult. Essential Quantum Mechanics is a uniquely concise and explanatory book that fills the gap between introductory and advanced courses, between popularizations and technical treatises.By focusing on the fundamental structure, concepts, and methods of quantum mechanics, this introductory yet sophisticated workemphasizes both physical and mathematical understanding. A modern perspective is adopted throughout - the goal, in part, being to gain entry into the world of real quantum mechanics, as used bypracticing scientists.With over 60 original problems, Essential Quantum Mechanics is suitable as either a text or a reference. It will be invaluable to physics students as well as chemists, electrical engineers, philosophers, and others whose work is impacted by quantum mechanics, or who simply wish to better understand this fascinating subject.
