Lectures on quantum mechanics for mathematics students

By: Faddeev, L. DContributor(s): I︠A︡kubovskiĭ, Oleg AleksandrovichMaterial type: TextTextSeries: Publication details: Providence, R.I. : American Mathematical Society, 2009Description: xii, 234 p. illISBN: 9781470454838Uniform titles: Lekt︠s︡ii po kvantovoĭ mekhanike dli︠a︡ studentov-matematikov. Subject(s): Quantum theoryDDC classification: 530.12 Summary: This book is based on notes from the course developed and taught for more than 30 years at the Department of Mathematics of Leningrad University. The goal of the course was to present the basics of quantum mechanics and its mathematical content to students in mathematics. This book differs from the majority of other textbooks on the subject in that much more attention is paid to general principles of quantum mechanics. In particular, the authors describe in detail the relation between classical and quantum mechanics. While selecting particular topics, the authors emphasize those that are related to interesting mathematical theories. In particular, the book contains a discussion of problems related to group representation theory and to scattering theory. This book is rather elementary and concise, and it does not require prerequisites beyond the standard undergraduate mathematical curriculum. It is aimed at giving a mathematically oriented student the opportunity to grasp the main points of quantum theory in a mathematical framework.
