Quantum mechanics / Bruce Cameron Reed.

Includes bibliographical references (pages 407-410) and index.

Foundations -- Schrödinger's equation -- Solutions of Schrödinger's equation in one dimension -- Operators, expectation values, and the uncertainty principle -- Harmonic oscillator -- Schrödinger's equation in three dimensions and an introduction to the quantum theory of angular momentum -- Central potentials -- Further developments with angular momentum and multiparticle systems -- Approximation methods -- Numerical solution of Schrödinger's equation -- Sampling of results from time-dependent quantum mechanics : transition rates and probabilities -- Appendix A : Miscellaneous derivations -- Appendix B : Answers to selected problems -- Appendix C : Integrals and trigonometric identities -- Appendix D : Physical constants.

"Designed for the one-semester course, Quantum Mechanics guides students through rigorous course material, providing comprehensive explanations, accessible examples, and intuitive equations. This text's coverage of essential topics, such as harmonic oscillator, barrier penetration, and hydrogen atoms, skillfully bridges the gap between sophomore introduction texts and lower-level graduate treatments. Students will find this user-friendly text, with numerous examples and applications, sets a solid foundation for future courses in the area of Quantum Mechanics."--Jacket.
