Opis

Provides a self-contained presentation of the mathematics and physics of quantum mechanics. Relevant aspects of classical mechanics and electrodynamics are reviewed, and the basic concepts of wave-particle duality are developed as a logical outgrowth of experiments involving blackbody radiation, the photoelectric effect, and electron diffraction.
