SCIENCE/PHYSICS
EMENDED EDITION
Quantum Mechanics
and Path Integrals
Richard P. Feynman
Albert R. Hibbs
Emended by Daniel F. Slyer
From astrophysics to condensed matter theory, nearly all of modern
physics employs the path integral technique. In this presentation, the
developer of path integrals and one of the best-known scientists of all
time, Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard P. Feynman, presents unique
insights into this method and its applications. Avoiding dense, complicated
descriptions, Feynman articulates his celebrated theory in a clear, concise
manner, maintaining a perfect balance between mathematics and physics.
This emended edition of the original 1965 publication corrects hundreds of
typographical errors and recasts many equations for clearer comprehension.
It retains the original's verve and spirit, and it is approved and endorsed
by the Feynman family. The opening chapters explore the fundamental
concepts of quantum mechanics and introduce... Tovább

It retains the original's verve and spirit, and it is approved and endorsed
by the Feynman family. The opening chapters explore the fundamental
concepts of quantum mechanics and introduce path integrals. Subsequent
chapters cover more advanced topics, including the perturbation method,
quantum electrodynamics, and the relation of path integrals to statistical
mechanics. In addition to its merit as a text for graduate courses in physics,
this volume serves as an excellent resource for professionals.
