Print: $14.97 The main purpose of this book is to present in a systematic and self-contained manner the basic formalism of quantum mechanics. All effort has been made to develop the formalism from the minimum possible number of postulates. Some of the distinguishing features of the book include a systematic and rigorous treatment of expectation values, illustration of the equivalence between the Schrödinger and Heisenberg formulations, the approach adopted to relate the position and momentum operators with the so-called lowering and raising operators, the procedure followed to derive the radial equation for the hydrogen atom, the discussion on the interaction of a two-level atom with a single-mode and multimode radiation, and the argument leading to alternative formulation of quantum dynamics. This book may be used as a text for undergraduate courses on quantum mechanics.
