Quantum Mechanics Using Maple permits the study of quantum mechanics in a novel, interactive way using the computer algebra and graphics system Maple V. Usually the physics student is distracted from understanding the concepts of modern physics by the need to master unfamiliar mathematics at the same time. In 39 guided Maple sessions the reader explores many standard quantum mechanics problems, as well as some advanced topics that introduce approximation techniques. A solid knowledge of Maple V is acquired as it applies to advanced mathematics relevant for engineering, physics, and applied mathematics. The diskette contains 39 Maple V for Windows worksheet files to reproduce all the problems presented in the text. The suggested exercises can be performed with a minimum of typing.

Upper-year undergraduate and beginning graduate students in physics who want to become acquainted with solving quantum mechanical problems by using Maple will welcome this book that fills a gap. All worksheets were tested under Maple V release 3 running under Windows. They are provided on a diskette readable by IBM -compatible, Macintosh , and UNIX computers.
