Schaum’s Outline of Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition
by: Yoav Peleg, Ph.D., Reuven Pnini, Ph.D., Elyahu Zaarur, M.Sc., Eugene Hecht, Ph.D.
Abstract: Study faster, learn better, and get top grades. Schaum’s Outline of Quantum Mechanics provides a systematic review of quantum mechanics with clear and concise explanations, accompanied by numerous exercises that will allow you to work on your own, for both initial learning and review. The revised edition will include comprehensive review of mathematical foundations, the Schrodinger Equation, angular momentum, spin, the Harmonic Oscillator, numerical methods, and scattering theory.
