Description for Linearity, Symmetry and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom
Hardback. Concentrates on how to make predictions about the numbers of each kind of basic state of a quantum system from only two ingredients: the symmetry and linear model of quantum mechanics. Series: Undergraduate Texts in Mathematics. Num Pages: 412 pages, 50 black & white illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PHM; PHQ. Category: (UU) Undergraduate. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 23. Weight in Grams: 1670.
This is a textbook for a senior-level undergraduate course for math, physics and chemistry majors. This one course can play two different but complimentary roles: it can serve as a capstone course for students finishing their education, and it can serve as motivating story for future study of mathematics. Some textbooks are like a vigorous regular physical training program, preparing people for a wide range of challenges by honing their basic skills thoroughly. Some are like a series of day hikes. This book is more like an intended trek to a particularly beautiful goal. We’ll take the easiest route to the ... Read more

Reviews for Linearity, Symmetry and Prediction in the Hydrogen Atom
From the reviews: "Here is another book which is centered around the SO(4)-invariance of the 1/r potential. … the present author always remains on a very solid mathematical ground. … The author prepares carefully the mathematical ingredients (Hilbert spaces, Lie groups, Lie algebras, representations). The style of this senior-level undergraduate text is very fluent and ... Read more
