About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
"This is an interesting a valuable book for someone who wants to obtain a solid understanding of the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics, an appreciation of some aspects of the numerical solution of practical applications, and an introduction or better to a very broad spectrum of topics."-Chemistry in Asutralia Magazine of the Royal Astralian Chemical Institute
"This is an expository book on Quantum Mechanics. The exposition largely develops around the central notion of state space. … Although the exposition is largely self contained, numerous references are given to books and research papers. This is a very useful book for undergraduate and graduate students who study Quantum Mechanics." (T. C. Mohan, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1033 (8), 2004)
"There are some excellent and classic texts on quantum mechanics (QM) … . The present monograph represents an attempt to rewrite and rearrange the outlook and topics … . Overall the book offers a rich mix of topics and is highly readable. The exercises at the end of each chapter represent a reasonable collection for the students to test their comprehension and assimilation of the subject matter. It is a welcome addition to the large number of books on QM." (Mayer Humi, Mathematical Reviews, 2003 m)
"His ‘exposition largely develops round the central notion of state space’. … This could be a useful book for an advanced graduate course or theoretical specialists and a useful reference for others … ." (Alastair Rae, Times Higher Education supplement, May, 2003)
"I like this book, and I’ll probably use it as a reference and resource for my Honours year quantum mechanics course. … One of the strengths of this book is the thorough treatment of atomic theory … ." (Craig Savage, The Physicist, Vol. 39 (6), 2002)
"This is an interesting and valuable book for someone who wants to obtain a solid understanding of the fundamental aspects of quantum mechanics … . For those higher year undergraduate and graduate students of physical and theoretical chemistry who want to teach themselves quantum mechanics, this book might provide a better route than other standard texts." (Michael Collins, Chemistry in Australia, January/February, 2003)
