2014 Reprint of 1957 Edition. Full facsimile of the original
edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. This
classic of modern physics includes a vast array of approximation
methods, mathematical tricks, and physical pictures that are also
useful in the application of quantum mechanics to other fields.
Students and professionals should find it an essential reference
for calculations pertaining to hydrogen-like and helium-like atoms
and their comparison with experimental results. In-depth
explorations of the Dirac theory of the electron and of radiative
effects include brief accounts of relevant experiments. The
specific application of general field-theoretic results to atomic
systems also receives a thorough examination. Author Hans A. Bethe
(1906-2005), Professor of Physics at Cornell University, won the
Nobel Prize in Physics in 1967. Co-author Edwin E. Salpeter is
James Gilbert White Distinguished Professor of the Physical
Sciences at Cornell University.
