Download or read book Topics in Quantum Mechanics written by Floyd Williams and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2003-01-23 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This self-contained text presents quantum mechanics from the point of view of some computational examples with a mixture of mathematical clarity often not found in texts offering only a purely physical point of view. Emphasis is placed on the systematic application of the Nikiforov-- Uvarov theory of generalized hypergeometric differential equations to solve the Schr"dinger equation and to obtain the quantization of energies from a single unified point of view.
