ISBN: 0226243818 ISBN-13: 9780226243818 Publisher: University of Chicago Press OUR PRICE: $32.67 Product Type: Paperback Published: July 1995 Annotation: The lecture notes presented here in facsimile were prepared by Enrico Fermi for students of his course at the University of Chicago in 1954. They are vivid examples of Fermi's unique ability to lecture simply and clearly on the most essential aspects of quantum mechanics. At the close of each lecture, Fermi created a single problem for his students. These challenging exercises were not included in Fermi's notes but were preserved in the notes of his students. This second edition includes a set of Fermi's assigned problems as compiled by a former student, Robert A. Schluter. |

Contributor Bio(s): Fermi, Enrico: - Enrico Fermi (1901-1954) was the Charles H. Swift Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Physics at the University of Chicago and winner of the 1938 Nobel Prize in Physics for his work on artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment. Fermi was one of the lead physicists on the Manhattan Project and played an important role in the first controlled nuclear chain reaction and the development of the atomic bomb. |
