Description for Classical and Quantum Dynamics
Paperback. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 461 pages, 2 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PBWH; PHD; PHP; PHQ. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 235 x 155. Weight in Grams: 871.
Graduate students who want to become familiar with advanced computational strategies in classical and quantum dynamics will find here both the fundamentals of a standard course and a detailed treatment of the time-dependent oscillator, Chern-Simons mechanics, the Maslov anomaly and the Berry phase, to name a few. Well-chosen and detailed examples illustrate the perturbation theory, canonical transformations, the action principle and demonstrate the usage of path integrals.
This new edition has been revised and enlarged with chapters on quantum electrodynamics, high energy physics, Green’s functions and strong interaction.

Reviews for Classical and Quantum Dynamics
“This is the fourth edition of a highly successful pedagogical book that combines classical and quantum dynamics, often viewed as disjoint subjects. … Its elementary exposition makes the book accessible to graduate students.” (Gert Roepstorff, zbMATH 1330.81001, 2016)
