Principles of Quantum Mechanics

W. H. Young

Published Aug 1, 1974• 194 citations
Publisher

Abstract

W V Houston and G C Phillips Amsterdam: North Holland 1973 pp xi + 376 price Dfl 110, $40 Gombás and Kisdi's Wave Mechanics and its Applications is written with absolute beginners in mind. It begins with a rather nice 20 page summary of the experimental basis of the subject, after which follow chapters on the Bohr theory and an introduction to the wave mechanical formalism.

Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics – Particles, Waves and Wave Mechanics

Edward J. Burge

S. Borowitz New York: W. A. Benjamin. 1967 Pp. xiv + 401. Price $13.90. The introduction of the Hamiltonian to students is made in a variety of ways and at different levels, and for many the first mention is in connexion with wave mechanics. This volume, however, sets out to provide a thorough understanding of the basic concepts and methods of wave theory, of the variational principles in optics and of Hamiltonian mechanics, before the introduction of wave mechanics.

Introduction to the Quantum Theory

David L Hurd

David Park McGraw-Hill Publishing Co. Ltd. 1964. Pp. xv + 547. Price 83s. 6d. There are surely few branches of physics which have been so amply, and repetitively, documented as the basic principles of quantum mechanics. Suppressing an almost overwhelming impression of déjà vu, one opens this new entry to the field to find that the text is so organized as to present the discussion of the theory in Part I, and to segregate the applications to Part II, an arrangement for which there is much to be said and which, when as thoughtfully carried out as in the example under review, allows the student, and the lecturer, the opportunity to mix his own blend of theory and application.

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.

The Quantum Principle

Maurice Ebison

Jagdish Mehra Dordrecht, Holland: D Reidel 1974 pp xii + 132 price Dfl 44, $16.50 For rather more than a decade there has been a welcome revival of interest in the philosophy of science. A good deal of this interest has centred upon discussions of the historical development of scientific theories and in particular of the quantum theory.
