Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians and Physicists

Nicholas Kemmer

Published Nov 1, 1963• 8 citations
Publisher

Abstract

By Ernest Ikenberry London: Oxford University Press. Pp. xii + 269. Price 64s. The number of quantum mechanics texts available nowadays is so large that when another one appears it is a priori unlikely to show any great novelty of treatment or to promise to score heavily over its rivals. Choice of one particular treatment for teaching or learning purposes must become a matter of personal preferences not easily justified in detail.

Problems in Quantum Mechanics

Lewis Elton

By I. I. Goldman, V. D. Krivchenkov, V. I. Kogan and V. M. Galitskii. Translated, edited and arranged by D. ter Haar. London : Cleaver-Hume Press Ltd. Pp. 394. Price 42s. It has always been accepted that one cannot learn mathematics without solving a large number of problems, and the same is true of mathematical physics. Unfortunately the problems in many books on quantum mechanics are either purely mathematical or else present extensions of the subject matter of the book, which space has prevented from incorporation in the text.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

George Wyllie

By P. T. Matthews London: McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1963. Pp. xii + 170. Price 25s. This represents good value. The text is concise without being too much compressed, and the student who works the problems will develop a very useful facility in elementary quantum theory.

Hendrik F Hameka 1981 New York: John Wiley xii + 387 pp price £24 This is a revised and updated version of the author's 1967 text Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. It was then thought particularly suitable for chemists, and indeed the new version has a flavour not unlike that of the classic Quantum Chemistry by Eyring, Walter and Kimball.

J M Ziman London: Cambridge University Press 1969 pp xii + 269 price £2.75 The days are long since past when a knowledge of the Schrödinger equation, or perhaps even of the Dirac formalism and the algebra of Hilbert space, was sufficient equipment to enable theoretical papers on aspects of quantum theory to be read and understood. Today one is faced with the symbols and concepts (field operators, Feynman graphs, Green functions, the S matrix, and so on) of what to many must seem an inaccessible world.

Quantum Mechanics

R. L. Hall

A. A. Sokolov, Y. M. Loskutov and I. M. Ternov London and New York: Holt, Rimehart ' Winston. 1966. Pp. xix + 537. Price £4 8s. This addition to the large number of available books on quantum mechanics is mainly of interest to the nonspecialist. The subject is introduced via elementary radiation theory, the Bohr atom and de Broglie waves, which lead to plausibility arguments for Schrodinger's equation.
