Advanced modern physics : solutions to problems / Paolo Amore and John Dirk Walecka.

By: Contributor(s): Material type: TextTextPublication details: Singapore : World Scientific, ©2016.Description: viii, 339 p. : ill. ; 23 cmISBN:
  • 9789814704519 (pbk. : alk. paper)
Subject(s): DDC classification:
  • 530.076 23 Am524
Contents:
1. Introduction -- 2. Quantum mechanics (revisited) -- 3. Angular momentum -- 4. Scattering theory -- 5. Lagrangian field theory -- 6. Symmetries -- 7. Feynman rules -- 8. Quantum electrodynamics (QED) -- 9. High-order processes -- 10. Path integrals -- 11. Canonical transformations for quantum systems -- Appendices.
Summary: This book provides solutions to the over 180 problems in the remaining text Advanced Modern Physics: Theoretical Foundations. This is the most challenging material, ranging over advanced quantum mechanics, angular momentum, scattering theory, lagrangian field theory, symmetries, Feynman rules, quantum electrodynamics (QED), higher-order processes, path-integrals, and canonical transformations for quantum systems; several appendices supply important details.This solutions manual completes the modern physics series, whose goal is to provide a path through the principal areas of theoretical physics of the twentieth century in sufficient detail so that students can obtain an understanding and an elementary working knowledge of the field. While obtaining familiarity with what has gone before would seem to be a daunting task, these volumes should help the dedicated student to find that job less challenging, and even enjoyable.
