Description and Table of Contents
Description
This 1985 text develops the theory of angular momentum from the viewpoint of a fundamental symmetry in nature and shows how this concept relates to applied areas of research in modern quantum physics.
Table of Contents
- 1. Introduction
- 2. The kinematics of rotations
- 3. Standard treatment of angular momentum in quantum mechanics
- 4. The theory of turns adapted from Hamilton
- 5. The Boson Calculus applied to the theory of turns
- 6. Orbital angular momentum and angular functions on the sphere
- 7. Some applications to physical problems.
