Group Theory and Quantum Mechanics Author:Michael Tinkham This graduate-level text develops the aspects of group theory most relevant to physics and chemistry and illustrates their applications to quantum mechanics. The treatment begins with an introduction of methods, illustrated by physical examples, followed by a systematic treatment of the quantum theory of atoms, molecules, and solids. Subjects in... more »clude abstract group theory, theory of group representations, physical applications of group theory, full rotation group and angular momentum, quantum mechanics of atoms, molecular quantum mechanics, and solid-state theory. Compact and unified, this volume presumes a basic understanding of quantum theory. 1964 ed. 49 figures. 33 tables.« less
