Description

For one-semester/-year, junior-/senior-level courses in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Chemistry.

This text first teaches students how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. Two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications.


Features

  • NEW - The best-selling quantum mechanics book.
  • NEW - Completely rewritten chapter on the formalism of quantum mechanics—Chapter 3.

    • Streamlines the treatment for more effective instructor presentation and student comprehension.

  • NEW - Many added problems and worked examples.

    • Introduces students to computer-based material using Mathematica.

  • Concise yet comprehensive presentation.

    • Avoids the temptation to include every possible relevant topic, in order to give students a complete treatment that is not oppressively long.

  • Straightforward writing style—Entertains and informs without intimidating.

    • Presents students with material that they can easily focus on—with few distractions and diversions.

  • Relevant examples and problems

    • Links them closely to text material.

  • Computer-based problems, using Mathematica, have been added to the second edition.
