Beautifully illustrated and engagingly written, Twelve Lectures in
Quantum Mechanics presents theoretical physics with a breathtaking
array of examples and anecdotes. Basdevant's style is clear and
stimulating, in the manner of a brisk classroom lecture that
students can follow with ease and enjoyment. Here is a sample of
the book's style, from the opening of Chapter 1: If one were to ask
a passer-by to quote a great formula of physics, chances are that
the answer would be E = mc2. In fact, of the three watershed years
for physics toward the beginning of the 20th century - 1905: the
Special Relativity of Einstein, Lorentz and Poincare; 1915: the
General Relativity of Einstein, with its extraordinary reflections
on gravitation, space and time; and 1925: the development of
Quantum Mechanics; it is surely the last which has the most
profound implications for the development of science and
technology. There is no way around it: all physics is quantum, from
elementary particles, to stellar physics and the Big Bang, not to
mention semiconductors and solar cells. and Chair of the Department
of Physics at the Ecole Polytechnique, and Director of Research for
the CNRS. Specializing in the theoretical physics of elementary
particles, quantum field theory and astrophysics, Prof. Basdevant
works in the Leprince-Ringuet Laboratory at the Ecole
Polytechnique.
