Each chapter contains problem sets and there are references and an index. The chapter on experimental foundations of quantum theory is replete with rare physical explanations and insights. The various approximation methods are presented in a unified approach as are the modern pictures of quantum mechanics. This textbook provides a good introduction to the tomographic picture which allows classical and quantum descriptions to [be] compared.'

Focusing on structural issues and geometric ideas, this book guides readers from the concepts of classical mechanics to those of quantum mechanics. The book features an original presentation of classical mechanics, with the choice of topics motivated by the subsequent development of quantum mechanics, especially wave equations, Poisson brackets and harmonic oscillators. It also presents new treatments of waves and particles and the symmetries in quantum mechanics, as well as extensive coverage of the experimental foundations.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface\u003cbr\u003e 1.
