R. Shankar – Principles Of Quantum Mechanics

R. Shankar has introduced major additions and updated key presentations in this second edition of Principles of Quantum Mechanics . New features of this innovative text include an entirely rewritten mathematical introduction, a discussion of time-reversal invariance, and extensive coverage of a variety of path integrals and their applications. Additional highlights include: clear, accessible treatment of underlying mathematics; a review of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics; student understanding of quantum theory is enhanced by separate treatment of mathematical theorems and physical postulates; and unsurpassed coverage of path integrals and their relevance in contemporary physics. The requisite text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition is fully referenced and is supported by many exercises and solutions. The book’s self-contained chapters also make it suitable for independent study as well as for courses in applied disciplines.
