The Origins of Quantum Mechanics 1.1 Introduction 1.2 Blackbody Radiation The Problem with Blackbody Radiation 1.3 The Nature of Light The Photoelectric Effect The Compton Effect Is it a Particle or a Wave? 1.4 TheWave Nature of Matter 1.5 The Bohr Atom 1.6 Where do we Stand? 2. In-text worked examples provide more detailed derivations and solutions than any other book. Unique Math Interlude chapters throughout the book ensure that the student has all the required mathematical skills required to master quantum mechanics. Every section starts with an intuitive explanation of quantum phenomenon, which provides a clear physical motivation for the discussion that follows. The introductory chapters introduce the experimental evidence that historically motivated the development of quantum mechanics and explain why this topic is so central to today's science and technology. Scherrer carefully develops a solid foundation by recapping on the required math and other basic concepts before developing all the major more advanced topics. It is designed from the ground up to address the changing needs of today's students taking this important and challenging course.
