- Summary
- "This is an exposition of the theory of quantum mechanics which progresses in accordance with the physical problems considered, rather than a logically organized mathematical introduction to the subject. Nevertheless it is a remarkably complete presentation. It places emphasis on the physical interpretation of the mathematical methods involved, and thus makes it easy for the student to understand the primary influences at work in shaping the substance of modern quantum mechanics. The book treats many topics which are difficult to find elsewhere at the elementary level on which they are discussed here."--Back cover
