Angular Momentum by D.M. Brink (English) Paperback Book

Description: Angular Momentum by D.M. Brink, G.R. Satchler This book introduces the quantum theory of angular momentum to students who are unfamiliar with it and develops it to a stage useful for research. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description This book introduces the quantum theory of angular momentum to students who are unfamiliar with it and develops it to a stage useful for research.The first part contains the basic theory of rotations and angular momentum. As the book aims to emphasize applications, mathematical details are avoided and difficult theorems stated without proof. The second part contains examples of applications to a wide range of physical phenomena and presents acollection of results helpful in solving problems. Author Biography David M. Brink obtained his first degree at the University of Tasmania in 1951 and his D.Phil. at Oxford University in 1955. Between 1958 and 1993 he held academic positions in the University of Oxford, including a Fellowship at Balliol College and the Moseley Readership in Theoretical Physics and taught many branches of physics at graduate and undergraduate level. From 1993 to 1998 he was Professor of the History of Physics at the University of Trento in Italy. Professor Brink is a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1982 was a recipient of the Rutherford Medal of the Institute of Physics.

My own copy of the second edition has been used so regularly as a reference for formulae over more than twenty-five years that it has lost its covers and some pages have become detached ... a very thorough book which has stood the test of time and will now be available to a further generation of postgraduate students and researchers.Prof. J P Elliot (University of Sussex), Contemporary Physics, 1995, Vol 36, No 1 Long Description This book introduces the quantum theory of angular momentum to students who are unfamiliar with it and develops it to a stage useful for research.The first part contains the basic theory of rotations and angular momentum.
