Description
This volume discusses the principles of non-relativistic quantum mechanics, featuring a variety of approximation methods and the application of these methods to simple systems occuring in atomic, nuclear and solid state physics. In conclusion the authors discuss some of the difficulties that arise in the interpretation of quantum theory. Problem sets are provided to cover the most important topics and so help the student to monitor his understanding of the theory.
