β¦ Synopsis
Trans. by E. M. Harrell
This book is a new edition of Volumes 3 and 4 of Walter Thirringβs famous textbook on mathematical physics. The first part is devoted to quantum mechanics and especially to its applications to scattering theory, atoms and molecules. The second part deals with quantum statistical mechanics examining fundamental concepts like entropy, ergodicity and thermodynamic functions.
