Product details
For one-semester/-year, junior-/senior-level courses in Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Chemistry.
This text first teaches students how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. Two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications.
I. THEORY.
1. The Wave Function.2. The Time-Independent Schrodinger Equation.
3. Formalism.
4. Quantum Mechanics in Three Dimensions.
5. Identical Particles.
II. APPLICATIONS.
6. Time-Independent Perturbation Theory.7. The Variational Principles.
8. The WKB Approximation.
9. Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory.
10. The Adiabatic Approximation.
11. Scattering.
Afterword.
Index.
