【原文書】 書名：Principles of Quantum Mechanics 2/e 作者:R. Shankar 出版社：Kluwer Academic Plenum Publishers ISBN：9780306447907 About this Textbook Reviews from the First Edition: "An excellent text … The postulates of quantum mechanics and the mathematical underpinnings are discussed in a clear, succinct manner." (American Scientist) "No matter how gently one introduces students to the concept of Dirac’s bras and kets, many are turned off. Shankar attacks the problem head-on in the first chapter, and in a very informal style suggests that there is nothing to be frightened of." (Physics Bulletin) Reviews of the Second Edition: "This massive text of 700 and odd pages has indeed an excellent get-up, is very verbal and expressive, and has extensively worked out calculational details---all just right for a first course. The style is conversational, more like a corridor talk or lecture notes, though arranged as a text. … It would be particularly useful to beginning students and those in allied areas like quantum chemistry." (Mathematical Reviews) R. Shankar has introduced major additions and updated key presentations in this second edition of Principles of Quantum Mechanics. New features of this innovative text include an entirely rewritten mathematical introduction, a discussion of Time-reversal invariance, and extensive coverage of a variety of path integrals and their applications. Additional highlights include: - Clear, accessible treatment of underlying mathematics - A review of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics - Student understanding of quantum theory is enhanced by separate treatment of mathematical theorems and physical postulates - Unsurpassed coverage of path integrals and their relevance in contemporary physics The requisite text for advanced undergraduate- and graduate-level students, Principles of Quantum Mechanics, Second Edition is fully referenced and is supported by many exercises and solutions. The book’s self-contained chapters also make it suitable for independent study as well as for courses in applied disciplines.

【簡介】 This book offers a concise catalogue of the mathematical subjects underpinning modern theoretical physics. It traces the logical progression of ideas from the primitive beginnings of our earliest number systems to the calculation of the transcendental numbers e and π and their uses in complex analysis. What took the human race thousands of years to accomplish is here presented in a coherent, intuitive sequence. Along the way, the book introduces core topics in mathematical physics, including electromagnetism, statistical mechanics, thermodynamics, relativity, and nuclear fission and fusion, breakthroughs that have been foundational to the sophisticated scientific landscape in which we find ourselves.Topics that are often taught in isolation, at scattered intervals, are here woven into a unified narrative that prioritises the logical development of ideas, offering an approach grounded in intuitive reasoning. Whether encountering these subjects for the first time or seeking to consolidate earlier learning, readers will benefit from the book’s unique perspective on the underlying structure of mathematics and physics, and how these disciplines have guided humanity from its early agrarian roots to the intricate, technologically advanced world of today.
