Mathematics for Quantum Mechanics

Advanced undergraduates and graduate students studying quantum mechanics will find this text a valuable guide to mathematical methods. Emphasizing the unity of a variety of different techniques it is enduringly relevant to many physical systems outside the domain of quantum theory.<br>Concise in its presentation this text covers eigenvalue problems in classical physics orthogonal functions and expansions the Sturm-Liouville theory and linear operators on functions and linear vector spaces. Appendixes offer useful information on Bessel functions and Legendre functions and spherical harmonics. This introductory text's teachings offer a solid foundation to students beginning a serious study of quantum mechanics.
