The first quantum mechanics text published that ties directly into a computer algebra system, this book exploits Mathematica throughout for symbolic, numeric and graphical computing. It is a work designed for computer interaction in an upper-division undergraduate or first-year graduate quantum mechanics course. It is also a toolbox for the practicing physicist seeking to automate a variety of algebraic and numerical tasks with the computer.

The book is divided into two parts: Systems in One Dimension and Quantum Dynamics. Part I emphasizes topics from a first year course on quantum mechanics, while Part II includes more advanced topics. Although the text requires some familiarity with Mathematica, appendices are provided for gaining experience with the software and are referenced throughout the book. The text is task-oriented and integrated with numerous problems and exercises, with hints for working on the computer.

The 3.5" diskette included with this book contains all of the Mathematica input and supporting packages appearing in the text, so that the user can readily enter and analyze on the computer every mathematical step in the book. The diskette can be read by IBM compatible, Macintosh, and UNIX computers.
