Quantum Mechanics Fundamental Principles and Applications

Overview & Synopsis

This book
places emphasis on learning new theoretical methods applied to old
non-relativistic ideas, with a eye to what will be required in relativistic
field theory and particle physics. The result provides an introduction to
quantum mechanics which is, unique. Topics covered includes: Linear algebra,
Canonical quantization, Path integrals, Density matrix formalism, Thermal
densities, Green functions, Identical particles, Symmetries, Wave equations,
Supersymmetry, Spin systems, Electrons and phonons, Schrodinger perturbation
theory, Angular momentum, Electrodynamics, Scattering theory.
