Geometrical Quantum Mechanics

Download or read book Geometrical Quantum Mechanics written by Robert Geroch and published by Minkowski Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-03-23 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Geroch's lecture notes on geometrical quantum mechanics are divided into three parts - Differential Geometry, Mechanics, and Quantum Mechanics. The necessary geometrical ideas are presented in the first part of the book and are applied to mechanics and quantum mechanics in the second and third part. What also makes this book a valuable contribution to the existing textbooks on quantum physics is Geroch's unique approach to teaching theoretical and mathematical physics - the physical concepts and the mathematics, which describes them, are masterfully intertwined in such a way that both reinforce each other to facilitate the understanding of even the most abstract and subtle issues.
