The Shaggy Steed of Physics

More about the book

The second edition enhances the exploration of symmetry in quantum mechanics, particularly the relationships between symmetry group generators and their dynamics. Key chapters delve into the distinctions between quantum and classical waves, and the unfolding states of the hydrogen atom through symmetries. The text also addresses the transition from regular to chaotic Kepler motion, introducing KAM Theory to illustrate these concepts. Additionally, the author has corrected previous errors, enriching the reader's understanding of the sensual universe and its immediate experiences.
