In this book, texts by the important Russian ethnologist / anthropologist, linguist and archaeologist Vladimir Il'ich Iokhel'son (1855-1937), which he wrote down as a draft of his memoirs and whose manuscripts are now in the holdings of the Collections of the Manuscript and Archives Division of the New York Public Library, are published in a critical edition with an introduction and notes by the editors as well as various appendices.
Written by a pair of distinguished Soviet mathematicians, this compilation presents 160 lucidly expressed problems in nonrelativistic quantum mechanics plus completely worked-out solutions. Some were drawn from the authors' courses at the Moscow Institute of Engineering, but most were prepared especially for this book. A high-level supplement rather than a primary text, it constitutes a masterful complement to advanced undergraduate and graduate texts and courses in quantum mechanics. The mathematics employed in the proofs of the problems—asymptotic expansions of functions, Green's functions, use of different representation spaces, and simple limiting cases—are detailed and comprehensive. Virtually no space is devoted to the physical statements underlying the problems, since this is usually covered in books on quantum mechanics. Teachers and students will find this volume particularly valuable in terms of its advanced mathematics and detailed presentations, its coverage of scattering theory, and its helpful graphs and explanatory figures.
Includes entries for maps and atlases.
In this wonderful collection, friends and colleagues of Russian physicist G.I. Budker--founder of the Novosibirsk Institute--reminisce on the man and his science. Two articles by Budker himself are included as well. None of this material has ever appeared in English and includes work by Kapitsa, Landau, and Sakharov.
