This graduate-level text is a product of the author's course in advanced
quantum mechanics, taught many times at the University of Massachusetts,
Amherst. It offers students a thorough grounding in nonrelativistic
techniques related to its full relativistic treatment, including
material on nonrelativistic Feynman diagrams and their application to
electromagnetic process.
Topics include propagator methods, scattering theory, charged particle
interactions and their applications, alternate approximate methods, and
the Klein-Gordon and Dirac equations. Problems appear in the flow of the
discussion, rather than at the end of chapters. An abundance of content
makes this text more than adequate for single-semester courses, and
supplemental material -- designated by an asterisk -- is provided for
dedicated readers.
