Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei, and Particles Hardcover – 14 Feb. 1985

If you are studying Quantum Mechanics at 3rd year undergrad level & are having problems getting to grips with the mathematics or concepts, then this is the book for you. The worked examples are well explained & easy to follow. If a picture speaks a thousand words, then the simple diagrams speak volumes. This book is well presented & I would recommend it to anyone studying quantum mechanics as an invaluable aid, particularly to those studying SM358 with the Open University. My only complaint is that I wish I had found this book at the start of my quantum mechanics module.

This book describes the experiments, the results and the anomalies observed that led to the whole area of quantum physics. The book goes on to discuss, along with the appropriate mathematical descriptions many really complex concepts. This text is so well written and understandable (you can work your way through the mathematics) it really is a must for any serious student of physics. It is also aesthetically pleasing on the shelf! My copy is well fingered by now though.

Fantastic Book for beginners.It reports a nice antology of quantum physics with a deepening of basic issues.Strongly reccomended as guideline for the transition from undergraduate studentto graduated student profile. Useful antology also for experts, it can help to recalltopics outside the own specific expertise.

Like my previous purchases with FatBrain, this book arrived quickly and in excellent condition.Please note that I have mainly used chapters 6 and 7, which focus on the solutions of the Schrödinger equation for simple potentials and the hydrogen-like atom. But the content of said chapters alone is enough, in my opinion, to justify the price! It goes into great depth with derivations and discusses the finer points of the resulting equations. The section devoted to the intuition behind the shapes of the energy eigenfunctions was particularly good!Unfortunately, it does not provide solutions to all of the many problems in the book, and so one star was deducted.

Just what I expected and came very quick! Much cheaper and perfect for my course. The book itself is very complex and hard to understand at a first year undergrad level but I am gradually getting used to it!

Extremely thorough in covering first year Quantum courses, including derivations, definitions and explanations. Excellent book.

The book doesn't require much level of mathematics or physics and it's nothing more than a list of quantum effects explained with words and some of them give numerical results but with classical physics arguments. This book is not for physicists, it's for people with a medium level of mathematics or physics that has curiosity on quantum fenomena such as engineers.The writing style is horrible, you can find entire pages with no equations. So if you want to know quantum fenomena it's good, but if you want know Quantum Physics you should check another one such as 'Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (Pie)' by David Griffiths.

absolutely new, good one
