In the proven didactic manner, the textbook then covers the classical scope of introductory quantum mechanics, namely simple two-level systems, the one-dimensional harmonic ...(展开全部)

The book gives a streamlined introduction to quantum mechanics and describes the basic mathematical structures underpinning it. From the reviews: "This book is an introduction to the mathematics of quantum mechanics...The strength of the book is where it shows how the mathematical treatment of quantum mechanics brings insights to physics...It will be useful to the experienced ...(展开全部)

Cryptography is concerned with the conceptualization, definition and construction of computing systems that address security concerns. The design of cryptographic systems must be based on firm foundations. This book presents a rigorous and systematic treatment of the foundational issues: defining cryptographic tasks and solving new cryptographic problems using existing tools. I...(展开全部)

Devoted to the foundation of mechanics, namely classical Newtonian mechanics, the subject is based mainly on Galileo's principle of relativity and Hamilton's principle of least action. The exposition is simple and leads to the most complete direct means of solving problems in mechanics. The final sections on adiabatic invariants have been revised and augmented. In addition a sh...(展开全部)
