An understanding of quantum mechanics is vital to all students of
physics, chemistry and electrical engineering, but requires a lot
of mathematical concepts, the details of which are given with great
clarity in this book. Various concepts have been derived from first
principles, so it can also be used for self-study. The chapters on
the JWKB approximation, time-independent perturbation theory and
effects of magnetic field stand out for their clarity and
easy-to-understand mathematics. Two complete chapters on the linear
harmonic oscillator provide a very detailed discussion of one of
the most fundamental problems in quantum mechanics. Operator
algebra is used to show the ease with which one can calculate the
harmonic oscillator wave functions and study the evolution of the
coherent state. Similarly, three chapters on angular momentum give
a detailed account of this important problem. Perhaps the most
attractive feature of the book is the excellent balance between
theory and applications and the large number of applications in
such diverse areas as astrophysics, nuclear physics, atomic and
molecular spectroscopy, solid-state physics, and quantum well
structures.
