Review

???The aspect of the book that I particularly liked followed from the background of the author, who is not a physicist but an applied mathematician. This background meant that a wider view of the material was presented than we might expect from a physicist. For example, most physicists, when asked about perturbation theory might first talk about how a small change in an operator would lead to a small change in eigenvalues and the associated eigenfunctions. It is hard to do full justice here to a substantial book, over 800 pages in length, with its content of interesting and, at times, novel material. ??? [The book] represents very good value. Final year undergraduates in theoretical or mathematical physics and theoretically and mathematically oriented postgraduates or researchers should give very serious consideration to purchasing this book.??? D. Waxman, Contemporary Physics
