Nonrelativistic Mechanics

Published Dec 1, 1973• 24 citations
Publisher

Abstract

R J Finkelstein Massachusetts: W A Benjamin 1973 pp xvi + 394 price cased $17.50 paper $9.50 Not surprisingly for so distinguished and distinctive a mathematical physicist, the author concentrates chiefly on the formal structure and the group theoretical aspects of classical and quantum mechanics, both in their own right and as the features best adapted to unify both kinds of mechanics. The chapter headings are: 1 and 2 ‘Hamiltonian formulations, classical and quantum theory’; 3 ‘Lagrangian and variational formulations’; 4 ‘Dynamics of rigid bodies’; 5 ‘Planetary and atomic systems’.

Formulations of Classical and Quantum Dynamical Theory

P. F. Dhooghe

G Rosen London: Academic Press 1970 pp xii + 151 price £4 9s Professor Rosen's monograph, valuable to senior undergraduate and graduate students in physics and mathematics, presents a clear and fundamental review of the mathematical structure and logical relationships between classical dynamics and quantum dynamics for nondissipative closed physical systems. The monograph is based upon the notes from a course of lectures given to seniors and graduate students.

Group theory and quantum mechanics

M. Tinkham

his graduate-level text develops the aspects of group theory most relevant to physics and chemistry (such as the theory of representations) and illustrates their applications to quantum mechanics. The first five chapters focus chiefly on the introduction of methods, illustrated by physical examples, and the final three chapters offer a systematic treatment of the quantum theory of atoms, molecules, and solids.The formal theory of finite groups and their representation is developed in Chapters 1 through 4 and illustrated by examples from the crystallographic point groups basic to solid-state

Quantum Mechanics (Non-Relativistic Theory)

Lewis Elton

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.

Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics

Martin Counihan

Anton Z Capri 1985 California: Benjamin/Cummings 653 pp price £34.95 ISBN 0 8053 1505 5 Careful, comprehensive and comprehensible, this book will be appreciated as a valuable reference for students and teachers – something to turn to when you can't remember what Franck and Hertz did, or how to get the Lippmann–Schwinger equations. If the book has a fault, it is the failure to give context and motive to the topics covered.

Mathematics for Quantum Chemistry

Jay Martin Anderson

This concise volume offers undergraduates an introduction to mathematical formalism in problems of molecular structure and motion. The main topics cover the calculus of orthogonal functions, algebra of vector spaces, and Lagrangian and Hamiltonian formulation of classical mechanics and applications to molecular motion. Answers to problems. 1966 edition.

The variational method

Jeff Greensite

Written in a lucid and engaging style, the author takes readers from an overview of classical mechanics and the historical development of quantum theory through to advanced topics. The mathematical aspects of quantum theory necessary for a firm grasp of the subject are developed in the early chapters, but an effort is made to motivate that formalism on physical grounds. Including animated figures and their respective Mathematica® codes, this book provides a complete and comprehensive text for students in physics, maths, chemistry and engineering needing an accessible introduction to quantum mechanics.
