This text first teaches students how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. Two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications. Salient Features NEW - Completely rewritten chapter on the formalism of quantum mechanics—Chapter 3. NEW - Many added problems and worked examples. Concise yet comprehensive presentation. Straightforward writing style—Entertains and informs without intimidating. Relevant examples and problems Computer-based problems, using Mathematica, have been added to the second edition.
