Reviews

From the reviews: This book is a modern textbook covering most aspects of the theory and recent developments. The topics included in this book are useful either to graduate students in physics or researchers in this discipline and in the related fields as well. The book contains a lot of problems at the end of each Chapter that should be attempted by every serious reader. The book, unquestionably attractive to all those interested in Quantum Theory, is an invaluable source of material for this field. (Marian Ioan Munteanu, Zentralblatt MATH, Vol. 1126 (3), 2008) The content is comprehensive and the exposition is clear, albeit at a high level. There is a substantial amount of material that I have not seen covered -or covered in this depth- in other graduate level books: for example, the author's treatment of relativistic quantum equations of motion, the spin-statistics connection, the extensive discussion of the BCH relations, and more. Overall excellent. (M.P. Silverman, Trinity College, Hartford, CT, USA)

Author Information

Professor Dr. Edouard B. Manoukian did his graduate studies at McGill and at the University of Toronto in Canada, receiving his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in 1968 and 1971, respectively. He carried out research at the Theoretical Physics Institute of the University of Alberta, the Dublin Institute for Advanced Studies, and the Centre de Recherches Mathématiques Appliquées of the University of Montreal. In 1978 he joined the staff of the Department of National Defence of the Royal Military College of Canada and was appointed as a full professor in 1985. Presently E.B. Manoukian is a professor in the School of Physics of the Suranaree University of Technology. He has authored several books including the one entitled ""Renormalization"" (ISBN: 0124694500, New York: Academic Press, 1983) which may be of interest to readers of the present book, and he has published over 160 research papers on most aspects of theoretical physics.
