BOOKS

David Atkinson & Mahouton Norbert Hounkonnou. Quantum Mechanics -- a Self-Contained Course, Rinton Press. This book is the first in a series of three volumes devoted to quantum mechanics and to quantum field theory. It is self-contained.The prerequisites are a knowledge of integral calculus and partial differential equations, as well as Newton's mechanics of point masses. New subjects are developed in requisite detail at the various points where they are required. The mathematics is explicit but kept in check, and the reader does not get bogged down in annoying generalizations that might distract him or her from the physics. In each chapter, ten problems are given. The student is strongly advised to try them all by himself or herself before looking at our full solutions in the third volume.

Edited: Contemporary problems in mathematical physics. Proceedings of the 1st International Workshop held in Cotonou, October 31--November 5, 1999. Edited by Jan Govaerts, M. Norbert Hounkonnou and William A. Lester, Jr. World Scientific Publishing Co., Inc., River Edge, NJ, 2000. xii+377 pp. ISBN: 981-02-4297-2
