Reviews

The book teaches students how to approach and solve the types of quantum mechanical problems they will encounter throughout their careers. It will serve as an excellent text for a graduate level course. C. Stephen Hellberg, Naval Research Laboratory

Author Information

Efstratios Manousakis received his Ph. D. in Theoretical Physics, in 1985, from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. After a Post-Doctoral Research position at the Center for Theoretical Physics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (1985-1987) and at the Supercomputer Computational Research Institute (1987-88), he joined the Florida State University physics faculty, where he is the Donald Robson Professor of Physics and holds the title of Distinguished Research Professor.
