Harry J. Lipkin

Acclaimed as "excellent" (Nature) and "very original and refreshing" (Physics Today), this collection of self-contained studies is geared toward advanced undergraduates and graduate students. Its broad selection of topics includes the Mössbauer effect, many-body quantum mechanics, scattering theory, Feynman diagrams, and relativistic quantum mechanics.Author Harry J. Lipkin, a well-known teacher at Israel's Weizmann Institute, takes an unusual approach by introducing many interesting physical problems and mathematical techniques at a much earlier point than in conventional texts.

H J Lipkin Amsterdam: North-Holland 1973 pp xv + 465 price Dfl 95 The author himself explains that this volume can be considered as a collection of self contained monographs, dealing with such topics as the Mossbauer effect (introducing ‘form factor physics‘), many body theory (second quantization techniques), kaon physics (applications of time-dependent perturbation theory), scattering theory, Feynman diagrams, and relativistic quantum mechanics. Concepts and techniques are presented with clarity, and their use well illustrated through application to problems of real physical interest.
