Quantum Mechanics on the Macintosh��

Based on the interactive program Interquanta Quantum Mechanics on the Macintosh uses 3-D graphics to guide the student through computer experiments in the quantum mechanics of free particle motion bound states and scattering tunnelling two-particle interactions and more. It also inc ludes a section on special functions of mathematical physics. With more than 200 problems the text and the accompanying computer programs offer students practical experiences in using such hard-to-visualize concepts such as complex amplitudes eigenvalues and scattering cross sections. The diskettes included with the book provide two versions of the programs one for use in computers with a mathematical coprocessor and the other optimized for machines without a coprocessor.
