Quantum Mechanics (Non-Relativistic Theory)

Lewis Elton

Published Oct 1, 1958• 2,316 citations
Publisher

Abstract

By L. D. Landau and E. M. Lifshitz London : Pergamon Press. Pp. xii + 515. Price 80s. This book has been awaited for some time and with considerable excitement by English speaking physicists. Their expectations had been raised by the same authors' excellent Classical Theory of Fields and by the knowledge that in Moscow there was in preparation a complete course of Theoretical Physics, monumental even by the standards of Planck and Sommerfeld.

Relativistic Quantum Theory Vol 4 Course of Theoretical Physics Pt 1

Euan J. Squires

V B Berestetskii, E M Lifshitz and L P Pitaevskii Oxford: Pergamon 1971 pp xv + 375 price £6 The nine volumes of the course of theoretical physics, associated with the names of Landau and Lifshitz, have a unique place in the literature of theoretical physics, and in their style and content have no rivals. It is a great tribute to the three authors of part I of this volume, the latest to appear in English, that they have written a book on the most difficult of all branches of theoretical physics which is worthy to rank with the others.

Introduction to Quantum Mechanics

John Michael Ziman

By Robert H. Dicke and James P. Wittke Massachusetts and London: Addison-Wesley Publishing Company, Inc. Pp. xi + 369. Price 66s. At a rough count there are about a dozen good textbooks in English on non-relativistic quantum mechanics. An author must therefore have firm confidence in his ability, and a publisher a good expectation of profit, to launch another on the academic world.

Problems in Quantum Mechanics

R. C. Johnson

F Constantinescu and E Magyari Oxford: Pergamon 1971 pp vii + 410 price £5.70 This is a translation of a book apparently first published in eastern Europe two or three years ago and aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning research students. It contains 319 solved problems, arranged in a dozen subject groups which include not only reasonably high level treatments of the standard topics (mathematical formalism, onedimensional models, angular momentum, atoms and molecules, various approximation methods) but also large sections on systems of identical particles and second quantization, on scattering theory and on relativistic quantum mechanics (the last two subjects together occupying over a quarter of the book).

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.

Quantum Mechanics for Mathematicians and Physicists

Nicholas Kemmer

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.

Elements of Advanced Quantum Theory

P Dean

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.
