Introduction to the Graphical Theory of Angular Momentum

Download or read book Introduction to the Graphical Theory of Angular Momentum written by Ewald Balcar and published by Springer. This book was released on 2009-09-18 with total page 227 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Application of quantum mechanics in physics and chemistry often entails manipulation and evaluation of sums and products of coupling coefficients for the theory of angular momentum. Challenges encountered in such work can be tamed by graphical techniques that provide both the insight and analytical power. The book is the first step-by-step exposition of a graphical method grounded in established work. Copious exercises recover standard results but demonstrate the power to go beyond.
