More Description

Using computer-generated animations found on the accompanying CD-ROM, the book is able to convey a feeling for the behavior of quantum mechanical systems which cannot be gained by conventional means. This book is unusual in that it describes the mathematical and physical ideas in the conventional manner, with no special emphasis on computational physics or the requirement that readers know a symbolic computation package or Mathematica. Despite the presentations of advanced results, the book requires only calculus, and will fill the gap between classical quantum mechanics texts and mathematically advanced books. Throughout, the computer is used to provide easy access to a large collection of animated illustrations, interactive pictures, and lots of supplementary materials.
