Principles of Quantum Mechanics 2nd Edition PDF Download Ebook. Ramamurti Shankar introduces major additions and updated key presentations. New features of this innovative text include an entirely rewritten mathematical introduction, a discussion of Time-reversal invariance, and extensive coverage of a variety of path integrals and their applications.
Additional highlights include clear, accessible treatment of underlying mathematics with review of Newtonian, Lagrangian, and Hamiltonian mechanics. Student understanding of quantum theory is enhanced by separate treatment of mathematical theorems and physical postulates. It offers unsurpassed coverage of path integrals and their relevance in contemporary physics.
This massive text of 700 and odd pages has indeed an excellent get-up, is very verbal and expressive, and has extensively worked out calculational details---all just right for a first course. The style is conversational, more like a corridor talk or lecture notes, though arranged as a text. It would be particularly useful to beginning students and those in allied areas like quantum chemistry.
It is fully referenced and is supported by many exercises and solutions. The book’s self-contained chapters also make it suitable for independent study as well as for courses in applied disciplines. No matter how gently one introduces students to the concept of Dirac’s bras and kets, many are turned off. Shankar attacks the problem head-on in the first chapter, and in a very informal style suggests that there is nothing to be frightened of.
