Introduction to Perturbation Theory in Quantum Mechanics

Perturbation theory is a powerful tool for solving a wide variety of problems in applied mathematics, particularly in quantum mechanics and chemistry. However, few books take a practical approach that addresses its actual implementation. Introduction to Perturbation Theory in Quantum Mechanics does. It collects into a single source most of the techniques for applying the theory to the solution of particular problems and reveals the underlying mathematics in seemingly different problems. It includes many illustrative examples that facilitate the understanding of theoretical concepts and provides ideas for many original research projects.
