Looks at quantum mechanics, covering such topics as perturbation method, statistical mechanics, path integrals, and quantum electrodynamics.

The fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics -- The quantum-mechanical law of motion -- Developing the concepts with special examples -- The Schrödinger description of quantum mechanics -- Measurements and operators -- The perturbation method in quantum mechanics -- Transition elements -- Harmonic oscillators -- Quantum electrodynamics -- Statistical mechanics -- The variational method -- Other problems in probability.

Suitable for advanced undergraduates and graduate students, this text develops the techniques of path integration and deals with applications, covering a host of illustrative examples. 26 figures. 1981 edition.
