Elementary Quantum Mechanics by David Saxon (English) Paperback Book

Description: Elementary Quantum Mechanics by David Saxon This volume focuses on the formulas of quantum mechanics rather than on applications. Topics include the dual nature of matter and radiation, state functions, linear momentum, motion of a free particle, and more. 1968 edition. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Based on lectures for an undergraduate UCLA course in quantum mechanics, this volume focuses on the formulas of quantum mechanics rather than applications. Widely used in both upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses, it offers a broad self-contained survey rather than in-depth treatments.Topics include the dual nature of matter and radiation, state functions and their interpretation, linear momentum, the motion of a free particle, Schrodingers equation, approximation methods, angular momentum, and many other subjects. In the interests of keeping the mathematics as simple as possible, most of the book is confined to considerations of one-dimensional systems. A selection of 150 problems, many of which require prolonged study, amplify the texts teachings and an appendix contains solutions to 50 representative problems. This edition also includes a new Introduction by Joseph A. Rudnick and Robert Finkelstein. Author Biography David S. Saxon (1920-2005) was a longtime physics professor and administrator at UCLA. He was a leader in the UCLA administration from 1967 to 1975 and head of the University of California system from 1975 to 1983. Table of Contents I. The Dual Nature of Matter and Radiation II.
