Publisher

Abstract

Edward Nelson 1985 Princeton: Princeton University Press viii + 146 pp price £34.70 (£10.80 paperback) ISBN 08209 X Hdbk, 08216 2Pbk This volume contains the revised lecture notes of a course given in Switzerland in 1983. The author is a mathematician rather than a physicist and the style of the book reflects this distinction.

Introduction to Quantum Statistical Mechanics

GERALD RICKAYZEN

N N Bogolubov and N N Bogolubov Jr 1982 Singapore: World Scientific viii + 229 pp price £22.50 (£13 paperback) ISBN 9971 950 31 6 Hdbk, 9971 950 04 9 Pbk This book is based on lectures given at the Moscow State University and it is difficult to see at what readership it is aimed. It treats two disparate subjects, quantum statistical mechanics and second quantisation which, although they can be linked, are largely kept apart.

Quantum Physics

G. Barton

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.

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.

Quantum Mechanics and the Particles of Nature: An Outline for Mathematicians

Peter D. Collins

Anthony Sudbery 1986 Cambridge: Cambridge University Press xiii + 358 pp price £40 (£1 5 paperback) ISBN 0 521 25891 X Hdbk, 0 521 27765 5 Pbk An unusual book this, since it tries to provide a basic introduction to quantum theory, together with the elements of modern particle physics, but is aimed not at physicists (who need to learn how to apply quantum mechanics to real physical problems) but at undergraduate mathematicians. The latter, it is supposed, will expect (or tolerate) greater mathematical rigour than the former, but may have little background knowledge of physics and would be more interested in the logical structure of the subject than in how to make use of it.

Quantum Physics

GERALD RICKAYZEN

Rolf G Winter 1979 Belmont, California: Wadsworth xi + 403 pp price £12.75 This book is based on a US course, but could serve well as a text for an undergraduate course in the UK. It contains little on the historical background to the quantum theory, assuming that students have learnt this in an earlier course or related reading, but it develops the nonrelativistic theory from Schrödinger's equation to scattering theory, and deals with transition probabilities in some detail.

Quantum Theory and Measurement

The forty-nine papers collected here illuminate the meaning of quantum theory as it is disclosed in the measurement process. Together with an introduction and a supplemental annotated bibliography, they discuss issues that make quantum theory, overarching principle of twentieth-century physics, appear to many to prefigure a new revolution in science. Originally published in 1983. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
