Opis

Der Grundkurs Theoretische Physik deckt in 7 Banden die im Diplom- und Bachelor/Master-Studium mageblichen Gebiete ab und vermittelt das im jeweiligen Semester benotigte theoretisch-physikalische Rustzeug. Der erste Teil von Band 5 beginnt mit einer Begrundung der Quantenmechanik und der Zusammenstellung ihrer formalen Grundlagen, um dann Konzepte und Begriffsbildungen an Modellsystemen zu illustrieren. Der Band enthalt Ubungsaufgaben und Kontrollfragen zur Vertiefung des Stoffs. Die uberarbeitete und erganzte Neuauflage ist zweifarbig gestaltet.

O autorze

Prof. Dr Wolfgang Nolting is an emeritus professor of physics of the German Humboldt University in Berlin, whose research interests span solid state physics and magnetism. He has over 40 years of teaching experience at various institutions including the University of Münster, ETH Zürich, the University of Würzburg and the Universidad de Valladolid in Spain. His acclaimed German textbook series on Theoretical Physics has now attained the rank of a standard work in physics education.

Blurb

This textbook offers a clear and comprehensive introduction to the basics of quantum mechanics, one of the core components of undergraduate physics courses. It follows on naturally from the previous volumes in this series, thus developing the physical understanding further on to quantized states. The first part of the book introduces wave equations while exploring the Schrödinger equation and the hydrogen atom. More complex themes are covered in the second part of the book, which describes the Dirac formulism of quantum mechanics.

Ideally suited to undergraduate students with some grounding in classical mechanics and electrodynamics, the book is enhanced throughout with learning features such as boxed inserts and chapter summaries, with key mathematical derivations highlighted to aid understanding. The text is supported by numerous worked examples and end of chapter problem sets.

About the Theoretical Physics series

Translated from the renowned and highly successful German editions, the eight volumes of this series cover the complete core curriculum of theoretical physics at undergraduate level. Each volume is self-contained and provides all the material necessary for the individual course topic. Numerous problems with detailed solutions support a deeper understanding. Nolting is famous for his refined didactical style and has been referred to as the "German Feynman" in reviews.
