ELEMENTS OF QUANTUM MECHANICS OF INFINITE SYSTEMS

 ,&ldquo,I found these notes extremely rewarding because not only did they enlarge my physics horizon but they did so where it counts.&rdquo,Physics Today, 1988 ,&ldquo,Remarkable clarity and deep physical insight make this book both a valuable tool for theoretical physics students and pleasant reading for researchers in various fields of pure and applied quantum mechanics.&rdquo,Mathematical Reviews, 1987 ,This book is a collection of lecture notes discussing the basic features of the Quantum Mechanics of Infinite Systems such as collective phenomena, spontaneous symmetry breaking, etc. The mathematical precision has been reduced to a minimum in order to communicate the main ideas to a larger audience including those who are not mathematically meinded. It is aimed at helping students who have difficulty in finding accessible and compact expositions of the material in standard textbooks._,
