This 2004 textbook provides a pedagogical introduction to the
formalism, foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. Part
I covers the basic material which is necessary to understand the
transition from classical to wave mechanics. Topics include
classical dynamics, with emphasis on canonical transformations and
the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, the Cauchy problem for the wave
equation, Helmholtz equation and eikonal approximation,
introduction to spin, perturbation theory and scattering theory.
The Weyl quantization is presented in Part II, along with the
postulates of quantum mechanics. Part III is devoted to topics such
as statistical mechanics and black-body radiation, Lagrangian and
phase-space formulations of quantum mechanics, and the Dirac
equation. This book is intended for use as a textbook for beginning
graduate and advanced undergraduate courses. It is self-contained
and includes problems to aid the reader's understanding.
