Quantum Mechanics with Concept Maps

Autor Michael Wick
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 aug 2023
Many physics textbooks take a traditional approach to the demonstration of mathematical relationships and derivations, presenting them in linear order. However, many physical derivations follow a tree-shaped structure with interconnected steps running in parallel, where numerous individual equations are manipulated and combined to reach a final result. Thus, conventional presentation often leads to derivations being spread over several book pages and linked by formula numbering. This title takes a novel and intuitive approach to introductory quantum mechanics by utilising concept maps to address non-linear structures in key mathematical relationships. Concept maps are structures in a form similar to flowcharts where derivations, concepts, and relations are visualised on one page, supported by concise accompanying text on the opposite page. Perfect as a supporting and guiding tool for undergraduates, this book is designed to aid in the understanding and memorisation of key derivations and mathematical concepts in quantum mechanics.

Recenzii

'This book is a wonderful supplement to standard textbooks on quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. The presentation is very innovative and almost resembles a blackboard discussion. I believe the book will be particularly useful for students with a preference for visual learning.' Wolfgang Altmannshofer, University of California, Santa Cruz
'As the adage goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. Quantum Mechanics with Concept Maps provides an excellent visual tool that allows students to see how parallel approaches and manifestations of quantum mechanics come together. One example is the presentation of angular momentum in position space versus state space. Another is the comparison of state vectors versus wave functions. I am keen to use this approach in my own classes.' Jim Napolitano, Temple University
