Jackson Forge

Jackson's posthumously published textbook, A Course on Quantum Mechanics, covers quantum mechanics at an advanced level, presenting fundamental principles and techniques including the Schrödinger and Heisenberg representations, angular momentum, perturbation theory, scattering, quantum theory of radiation, and relativistic quantum mechanics. Particular attention is devoted to the WKB and eikonal approximations, which can be applied to a broad range of physical circumstances. An especially thorough treatment is given to atomic physics. The principles of quantum mechanics are illustrated in applications to atomic, nuclear, particle, and condensed matter physics, demonstrating that quantum mechanics provides a quantitative understanding of matter and light.The book is drawn directly from Jackson’s detailed lecture notes and problem sets. It is edited by colleague and former student Robert N. Cahn, who has taken care to preserve Jackson’s unique style. The textbook is notable for its origi

●Building on the strength of the previous editions, this adaptation has coverage of some of the topics reorganized.●Some of the chapters are leaner with the removal of sections dealing with rigorous mathematical treatment and some derivations moved to Appendix for optional reading.●Chapters enriched with addition of Worked Problems and for sake of continuity, Gaussian units are used in solutions throughout the chapters.The third edition of the defining text for the graduate-level course in Electricity and Magnetism has finally arrived! It has been 37 years since the first edition and 24 since the second. The new edition addresses the changes in emphasis and applications that have occurred in the field, without any significant increase in length.
