Quantum Mechanics, 2nd Edition

Provides a systematic and orderly development of the whole of quantum mechanics in terms of its applications to atomic, nuclear, particle, and solid state physics. [this Book] Is Intended To Be A Comprehensive Introduction To The Principles Of Quantum Mechanics And To Their Application In A Variety Of Fields To Which Physicists Turn.--preface.
