Call Number	530.12
Author	Esposito, Giampiero, author.
Title	From classical to quantum mechanics : an introduction to the formalism, foundations, and applications / Giampiero Esposito, Giuseppe Marmo, George Sudarshan.
Physical Description	1 online resource (xvi, 592 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Summary	This 2004 textbook provides a pedagogical introduction to the formalism, foundations and applications of quantum mechanics. Part I covers the basic material which is necessary to understand the transition from classical to wave mechanics. Topics include classical dynamics, with emphasis on canonical transformations and the Hamilton-Jacobi equation, the Cauchy problem for the wave equation, Helmholtz equation and eikonal approximation, introduction to spin, perturbation theory and scattering theory. The Weyl quantization is presented in Part II, along with the postulates of quantum mechanics. Part III is devoted to topics such as statistical mechanics and black-body radiation, Lagrangian and phase-space formulations of quantum mechanics, and the Dirac equation. This book is intended for use as a textbook for beginning graduate and advanced undergraduate courses. It is self-contained and includes problems to aid the reader's understanding.
Added Author	Marmo, Giuseppe, author. Sudarshan, E. C. G., author.
Subject	QUANTUM THEORY.
