<p><b>An innovative approach to quantum mechanics that seamlessly combines textbook and problem-solving book into one</b> <p><i>Quantum Mechanics: Concepts and Applications</i> provides an in-depth treatment of this fundamental theory, combining detailed formalism with straightforward practice. Thoroughly integrating close to seven hundred examples, solved problems, and exercises into a well-structured and concise text, the textbook offers instructors a pedagogically sound teaching tool, students a clear, balanced and modern approach to the subject, and researchers a quick practical guide. <p>The book begins with a thorough description of the origins of quantum physics before discussing the mathematical tools required in the field and the postulates upon which it is founded. <i>Quantum Mechanics</i> is broad in scope, covering such aspects as one-dimensional and three-dimensional potentials, angular momentum, rotations and addition of angular momenta, identical particles, time-independent and -dependent approximation methods, scattering theory, relativistic quantum mechanics, and classical field theory among others. Each of these diverse areas are enhanced with a rich collection of illustrative examples and fully-solved problems to ensure complete understanding of this complex topic. <p>Readers of the third edition of <i>Quantum Mechanics </i>will also find: <ul> <li>Two new chapters — one dealing with relativistic quantum mechanics and the other with the Lagrangian derivations of the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations — and three new appendices to support them</li> <li>Numerous solved examples integrated throughout the text that are intended to illustrate individual concepts within a broader topic</li> <li>An abundance of fully-solved problems at the end of each chapter that integrate multiple concepts introduced throughout the chapter and are generally comprehensive</li> <li>A large collection of unsolved exercises that may be used to practice the ideas presented</li> <li>A manual that is available to those instructors adopting the book by request offering comprehensive solutions to all exercises</li></ul><p><i>Quantum Mechanics </i>is<i> </i>a comprehensive textbook which is most useful to senior undergraduate and first-year graduate students seeking mastery of the field, as well as to researchers in need of a quick, practical reference for the various techniques necessary for optimal performance in the subject.
