Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
This volume discusses the principles of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, featuring a variety of approximation methods and the application of these methods to simple systems occuring in atomic, nuclear and solid state physics. In conclusion the authors discuss some of the difficulties that arise in the interpretation of quantum theory. student to monitor his understanding of the theory.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 694-695) and index.
