文档介绍：The Quantum Mechanics Solver
The Ecole Polytechnique, one of France’s top academic institutions, has a longstand-
ing tradition of producing exceptional scientific textbooks for its students. The origi-
nal lecture notes, the Cours de l’Ecole Polytechnique, which were written by Cauchy
and Jordan in the eenth century, are considered to be landmarks in the develop-
ment of mathematics.
The present series of textbooks is remarkable in that the texts incorporate the most
recent scientific advances in courses designed to provide undergraduate students with
the foundations of a scientific discipline. An outstanding level of quality is achieved
in each of the seven scientific fields taught at the Ecole: pure and applied mathe-
matics, mechanics, physics, chemistry, biology, and economics. The uniform level
of excellence is the result of the unique selection of academic staff there which in-
cludes, in addition to the best researchers in its own renowned laboratories, a large
number of world-famous scientists, appointed as part-time professors or associate
professors, who work in the most advanced research centers France has in each field.
Another distinctive characteristic of these courses is their overall consistency; each
course makes appropriate use of relevant concepts introduced in the other textbooks.
This is because each student at the Ecole Polytechnique has to acquire basic knowl-
edge in the seven scientific fields taught there, so a substantial link between depart-
ments is necessary. The distribution of these courses used to be restricted to the
900 students at the Ecole. Some years ago we were very essful in making these
courses available to a larger French-reading audience. We now build on this ess
by making these textbooks also available in English.
