Designed for beginners, this comprehensive guide to the Greek language covers grammar, vocabulary, syntax, and pronunciation through clear explanations and examples. Each chapter builds foundational knowledge, while an included key allows readers to check their progress. Suitable for self-study or classroom use, it serves as an excellent resource for anyone looking to learn Greek. This facsimile reprint of the 1829 edition preserves the original's cultural significance, despite potential imperfections from its antiquarian nature.
Atomic Structure Theory is a textbook for students with a background in quantum mechanics. The text is designed to give hands-on experience with atomic structure calculations. Material covered includes angular momentum methods, the central field Schrödinger and Dirac equations, Hartree-Fock and Dirac-Hartree-Fock equations, multiplet structure, hyperfine structure, the isotope shift, dipole and multipole transitions, basic many-body perturbation theory, configuration interaction, and correlation corrections to matrix elements. Numerical methods for solving the Schrödinger and Dirac eigenvalue problems and the (Dirac)-Hartree-Fock equations are given as well. B-spline basis sets are used to carry out sums arising in higher-order many-body calculations. Illustrative problems are provided, together with solutions. FORTRAN programs implementing the numerical methods in the text are included.
