Springer, 2013. - 285 pp.
The intent of this book is a concise introduction to the field of nonrelativistic and relativistic quantum mechanics. A historical account of the Heisenberg and the Schrodinger theories is given, and traditional applications to the hydrogen atom are outlined. All details of calculations are given and supplemented with related materials from the Maxwell Electrodynamics and Special Relativity.
The book can be used as a source for a two-semester lecture course on Nonrelativistic Quantum Mechanics, as well as for a one-semester course on either the Relativistic Quantum Mechanics, Classical Electrodynamics, or the Classical Field Theory.
