Elementary Quantum Mechanics

Elementary Quantum Mechanics by Peter Fong is a comprehensive textbook that covers the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics at an introductory level. The book is designed for undergraduate students studying physics or related fields, and assumes no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics.The book begins with an overview of classical mechanics and introduces the basic principles of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, uncertainty principle, and the Schr������dinger equation. The book then covers the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, including linear algebra and complex analysis.The central topics of quantum mechanics, such as wave functions, operators, observables, and the hydrogen atom, are discussed in detail. The book also covers more advanced topics, such as angular momentum, perturbation theory, and scattering theory.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help students understand and apply the concepts of quantum mechanics. The book also includes a selection of problems with solutions, making it an ideal resource for self-study.Overall, Elementary Quantum Mechanics by Peter Fong is an accessible and comprehensive textbook that provides a solid foundation in the principles and applications of quantum mechanics.Addison-Wesley Series In Physics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
