Editorial Review Product Description FROM THE REVIEWS: MATHEMATICAL REVIEWS"The book is packed with exercises for the reader to attempt...Anyone who works religiously through these exercises will require a thoroughly adequate command of quantum mechanics." CHOICE MAGAZINE"Editor Englert has performed a service for physicists everywhere by making available this book, which is based on Schwinger's unpublished UCLA lecture notes...There are excellent problems at the end of each chapter...This book would make an outstanding supplement and reference for a graduate quantum mechanics course. Theoretical physicists will delight in this wonderful book, which should be available in the library system of any institution with a research or graduate program in physics. Graduate students through professionals." Customer Reviews (5)
Enlightening
relatively easy to follow; unlike his research papers
Great read!
A unique perspective by a unique man That being said, it should be stressed that you should not approach this book without taking a course or two in QM - Schwinger himself states so at the introduction. It would not only make the book hard to follow, but also make it pointless - the whole idea of reading this book is getting a fresh new perspective on QM. For example, instead of stating the "axioms" of QM, Schwinger decides to examine physical experiments and try to see where these axioms come from. He is not always successful in doing that, but at the very least he should get every faithful reader to deeply ponder the foundations of QM. Instead of just writing down Schroedinger's equation and saying, "this is how our system evolves in time", he decides to take an action principle as his fundamental rule for time evolution and derive Schroedinger's equation from it. In short, he turns QM upside down - and gets away with it. It is definitely worthwhile checking out this book, although many will not like the idea of doing things Schwinger's way - in a sense, the book's greatest strength is also its greatest weakness. You have been warned.

The Best On Schwinger-- But Only 2/3 of that Promised This volume has essays by many of the contemporaries and students of Schwinger.In them, they talk a lot about his science, and howthis has influenced various areas of physics.In that the book is quite valuable.Thus, Schwinger the Physicist. They also talk a great deal about how great a lecturer he was, and even discuss his lecturing style-- which I found quite interesting.I even found myself making a couple of mental notes for when I lecture.Thus, Schwinger the Teacher. However, after reading many of these essays, I still could not get a really good feel of what Schwinger the Man was like.There were several anecdotes by some of his students of the sort: "In my five years of graduate school, Schwinger invited me to his house for dinner once.The evening was spent pleasantly." Or: "One time when I went to office hours, Schwinger asked me a question, and I explained why that could not be so.He said "Oh yes!How stupid of me!"This was the only time I heard him admit he was wrong." Or: "Schwinger enjoyed history, but not music."Or:"One time, after he had bought a new car, he took me driving.Usually restrained, on this day he showed reckless abandon."(paraphrasing these) The feeling I got after reading these essays was that either: (1) Schwinger was such a private man, that no one really got to know him very wellor (2) Physicists do not have a good idea what an adequate description of a man is, other than describing his science--and that these anecdotes encompass what they feel is an adequate representation of the type of man he was. Personally, I would have liked to hear more about Schwinger the NON-physicist.For example, how did he relate to his children?What about when his mother or father died?How about his relationship with his wife? Who's to say, though?These are just my thoughts--- and I haven't won a Nobel Prize! As an added bonus, there is a delightful transcript of a lecture Schwinger gave the year before he died in 1993, on George Green and physics. This is still worth a look, if you are interested in this sort of thing. ... Read more |

list price: US$229.00 -- used & new: US$52.13 (price subject to change: see help) Asin: 3540292233 Canada | United Kingdom | Germany | France | Japan | |
Editorial Review Product Description The present volume comprehensively summarizes the late Julian Schwinger's work on the theory of electromagnetic radiation and its application to waveguides, transmission lines, accelerator physics and synchrotron radiation. The first part, written in textbook style, has grown out of lectures and manuscripts by Julian Schwinger prepared during the war at MIT's Radiation Laboratory, updated with material developed by Schwinger at UCLA in the 1970s and 1980s, and by Milton at the University of Oklahoma since 1994. The second part consists of reprints of more than 15 papers (some of them never published or available with very limited circulation) by Schwinger on these topics. This volume will be of great interest to physicists, electrical engineers and applied mathematicians whether they be students or seasoned professionals. A paperback study edition of the first part is available separately. |
