Mathur (physics, Delhi U., India) and Singh (physics, U. of Rochester) have written this textbook on quantum mechanics for graduate students who need to master and apply quantum field theory. The authors explore the need for quantum mechanics and its physical basis to discuss representation theory, equations of motion, bound states of simple systems, symmetries and conservation laws, angular momentum, approximation methods, the three-body problem and quantization of radiation fields. The authors also explain the Feynman rules for writing out transition matrix elements from Feynman graphs.
