Abstract

Hendrik F Hameka 1981 New York: John Wiley xii + 387 pp price £24 This is a revised and updated version of the author's 1967 text Introduction to Quantum Mechanics. It was then thought particularly suitable for chemists, and indeed the new version has a flavour not unlike that of the classic Quantum Chemistry by Eyring, Walter and Kimball.

However, the teacher who feels that chemistry students should be exposed to a special version of introductory quantum mechanics may well find that Professor Hameka's book suggests a suitable course.

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.

Alastair I M Rae 1981 Maidenhead: McGraw-Hill xii + 237 pp price £6.95 This book is an introductory text and follows a familiar pattern. In chapter 4 the basic postulates and machinery of quantum mechanics are elucidated.

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.

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.
