Description
For Quantum Mechanics courses in departments of electrical engineering, materials science, and physics.
This book is designed to meet the changing quantum mechanics needs of general and applied physicists in such areas as solid state research, quantum electronics, materials science, etc. It recognizes that these needs go significantly beyond most elementary texts, and at the same time have become sufficiently distinct from the traditional advanced treatment of quantum mechanics.
