Quantum Mechanics Theory And Applications 5/E (Price Printed)

0.0

This is the new edition of the best selling textbook on Quantum Mechanics. It presents the basic concepts in quantum mechanics with emphasis on applications in areas like nuclear physics, astrophysics, solid-state physics, quantum optics, and so on. Each chapter is substantiated with a number of numerical problems. The solutions to most of these problems have been given at the end of the chapter. Apart from a new prologue, the additions are new topics such as wave-particle duality and uncertainty principle, Schrodinger equation, and muchmore.
