Beschreibung
A unique introductory text on quantum mechanics Albert Einstein famously expressed his dismay at the implications of quantum mechanics (QM) when he protested, "God does not play dice with the universe. " Theology aside, QM theory has held up as a scientific explanation of matter and radiation at the atomic level. Along with Einstein. s Theory of General Relativity, QM comprises the backbone of modern physics and plays a majo role in our understanding of chemistry. Quantum Mechanics: A Conceptual Approach offers students an easy-to-understand introduction to this essential field. Assuming no prior knowledge on the part of its reader, this text emphasizes the basic concepts that provide a solid foundation for the future study of quantum chemistry. Beginning with a description of the historical developments that led to the discovery of QM, a feature often neglected in other texts, Quantum Mechanics moves on to cover:. Mathematics of QM Applications. Classical mechanics. The hydrogen atom. Wave mechanics of a free particle. Atomic structure. The Schrödinger equation. Molecular structure. Written in a student-friendly style by experienced author and professor Hendrik Hameka, this text also includes problem sets to reinforce the concepts outlined. Both comprehensive and accessible, Quantum Mechanics: A Conceptual Approach provides all those interested in the field with an invaluable introduction to this important topic.
