Author: John David JacksonTitle: Mathematics for Quantum Mechanics...Binding: PaperbackNumber Of Pages: 112Release Date: 2006-10-06Details: Advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying quantum mechanics will find this text a valuable guide to mathematical methods. Emphasizing the unity of a variety of different techniques, it is enduringly relevant to many physical systems outside the domain of quantum theory.Concise in its presentation, this text covers eigenvalue problems in classical physics, orthogonal functions and expansions, the Sturm-Liouville theory and linear operators on functions, and linear vector spaces. Appendixes offer useful information on Bessel functions and Legendre functions and spherical harmonics. This introductory text's teachings offer a solid foundation to students beginning a serious study of quantum mechanics.EAN: 9780486453088Package Dimensions: Height: 9.1 Inches, Length: 6 Inches, Weight: 0.330693393 Pounds, Width: 0.4 Inches
