Abstract

Robert L Sproull and W Andrew Phillips 1980 Chichester: John Wiley xi + 682 pp price £16 The new edition of this nicely produced work has been significantly extended and updated. It is clearly aimed at physics and engineering students who are near the beginning of their courses and requires very little prior mathematical or physics knowledge beyond that contained in the first term of a typical physics degree.

Stephen Gasiorowicz Chichester: J Wiley 1974 pp xiii + 514 price £9 Though designed as an introductory book, and clearly and agreeably presented, the overall flavour is that of a more advancedtext. The reviewer, an admirer of the author's previous book on elementary particles, suspects that the mix here was most stimulating in the lecture course from which the book springs, but that it is less appropriate to a textbook.

E Anderson London: W B Sounders 1971 pp xi + 430 price £6·20 The book is intended for use at senior undergraduate level in an American university, though the first few chapters deal with material likely to have been included in a more elementary course on modern physics. The author's declared aim is to bridge a gap between the more elementary, descriptive type of course and advanced applications of quantum mechanics at postgraduate level.

J C Willmott Chichester: J Wiley 1975 pp xiv + 357 price £8.50 ( cased ) £4.25 ( paperback ) This book is another in the Manchester Physics Series of textbooks and is intended for students in their second year of an honours physics course at an English university. The book follows the conventional historical approach to the subject beginning with the experimental evidence for atomicity and the breakdown of classical physics; an introduction to wave mechanics followed by an elementary account of angular momentum in quantal systems and applications to the hydrogen atom.
