"Strongly recommended" by the "American Journal of Physics, " this
volume serves as a text for advanced undergraduates and graduate
students of physics as well as a reference for professionals. Clear
in its presentation and scrupulous in its attention to detail, the
treatment originally appeared in a two-volume French edition. This
convenient single-volume translation begins with formalism and its
interpretation, starting with the origins of quantum theory and
examinations of matter waves and the Schrodinger equation,
one-dimensional quantized systems, the uncertainty relations, and
the mathematical framework and physical content of formalism.
The second half opens with an exploration of symmetries and
invariance, including a consideration of angular momentum,
identical particles and the Pauli exclusion principle, invariance
and conservation laws, and time reversal. Methods of approximation
include those involving stationary perturbations, the equation of
motion, variational method, and collision theory. The final
chapters review the elements of relativistic quantum mechanics, and
each of the two volumes concludes with useful appendixes.
