Inhaltsangabe

This monograph is written within the framework of the quantum mechanical paradigm. It is modest in scope in that it is restricted to some observations and solved illustrative problems not readily available in any of the many standard (and several excellent) texts or books with solved problems that have been written on this subject. Additionally a few more or less standard problems are included for continuity and purposes of comparison. The hope is that the points made and problems solved will give the student some additional insights and a better grasp of this fascinating but mathematically somewhat involved branch of physics. The hundred and fourteen problems discussed have intentionally been chosen to involve a minimum of technical complexity while still illustrating the consequences of the quantum-mechanical formalism. Concerning notation, useful expressions are displayed in rectangular boxes while calculational details which one may wish to skip are included in square brackets. Beirut HARRY A. MAVROMATIS June, 1985 IX Preface to Second Edition More than five years have passed since I prepared the first edition of this mono­ graph. The present revised edition is more attractive in layout than its predecessor, and most, if not all of the errors in the original edition (many of which were kindly pointed out by reviewers, colleagues, and students) have now been corrected. Additionally the material in the original fourteen chapters has been extended with significant additions to Chapters 8, 13, and 14.

Reseña del editor

This second edition of Exercises in Quantum Mechanics has been much revised, updated and enlarged in order to cater more comprehensively for the growing need of students of quantum mechanics to have a better insight and grasp of this fascinating but mathematically convoluted branch of physics. The number of illustrative problems solved has been increased from 114 to 228, and new exercises have been added to each of the chapters.
The problems discussed have been carefully chosen so as to involve a minimum of technical complexity whilst emphasising the consequences of the quantum-mechanical formalism.
Various chapters have been extended significantly and three new chapters are included to make this volume more complete and sophisticated in its coverage of elementary quantum mechanics, principally by including material dealing with angular momentum coupling and tensor algebra. The presentation of the material has also been made much more attractive.
This revised edition will be especially useful to advanced undergraduate and graduate students of quantum mechanics and to all teachers of this subject.
