Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics

by J.P. Killingbeck (Editor)

Overview

Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics combines the teaching of computing skills with depth of mathematical understanding. This practical text demonstrates how computation can be integrated with theoretical analysis as part of a unified attack on problems in one of the most interesting areas of modern physics. The author discusses the mathematical principles behind the programs and actually creates new methods to facilitate the application of microcomputers in quantum mechanics.Microcomputer Quantum Mechanics combines the teaching of computing skills with depth of mathematical understanding.
