Quantum mechanics

With clear discussion and numerous problems, this text is the first to adequately and comprehensively cover all the subjects of quantum mechanics. It carefully and thoroughly discusses symmetries, especially rotation symmetry, transition theory, the theory of the quantized electromagnetic field, and relativistic wave equations. For physicists, engineers, and chemists.
