This book provides an itinerary to quantum mechanics taking into
account the basic mathematics to formulate it. Specifically, it
features the main experiments and postulates of quantum mechanics
pointing out their mathematical prominent aspects showing how
physical concepts and mathematical tools are deeply intertwined.
The material covers topics such as analytic mechanics in Newtonian,
Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian formulations, theory of light as
formulated in special relativity, and then why quantum mechanics is
necessary to explain experiments like the double-split, atomic
spectra, and photoelectric effect. The Schroedinger equation and
its solutions are developed in detail. It is pointed out that,
starting from the concept of the harmonic oscillator, it is
possible to develop advanced quantum mechanics. Furthermore, the
mathematics behind the Heisenberg uncertainty principle is
constructed towards advanced quantum mechanical principles.
Relativistic quantum mechanics is finally considered.The book is
devoted to undergraduate students from University courses of
Physics, Mathematics, Chemistry, and Engineering. It consists of 50
self-contained lectures, and any statement and theorem are
demonstrated in detail. It is the companion book of "A Mathematical
Journey to Relativity", by the same Authors, published by Springer
in 2020.
