Quantum Theory
Dover Publications Inc. (Verlag)
978-0-486-65969-5 (ISBN)
This advanced undergraduate-level text provides a formulation of the quantum theory in terms of qualitative and imaginative concepts outside classical theory. A broad range of specific applications follows, worked out in considerable mathematical detail. Also included: an examination of the relationship between quantum and classical concepts. Preface.
