Topics in Quantum Mechanics, 2003 Progress in Mathematical Physics Series, Vol. 27
Langue : Anglais
Auteur : Williams Floyd
This self-contained text presents quantum mechanics from the point of view of some computational examples with a mixture of mathematical clarity often not found in texts offering only a purely physical point of view. Emphasis is placed on the systematic application of the Nikiforov-- Uvarov theory of generalized hypergeometric differential equations to solve the Schr"dinger equation and to obtain the quantization of energies from a single unified point of view.
