Quantum Mechanics Using Computer Algebra: Includes Sample Programs In C++, Symbolicc++, Maxima, Maple, And Mathematica (2nd Edition)

Solving problems in quantum mechanics is an essential skill and research activity for physicists, mathematicians, engineers and others. Nowadays, the labor of scientific computation has been greatly eased by the advent of computer algebra packages, which do not merely perform number crunching, but also enable users to manipulate algebraic expressions and equations symbolically. For example, the manipulations of noncommutative operators, differentiation and integration can now be carried out alge
