This self-contained text presents quantum mechanics from the point of view of some computational examples with a mixture of mathematical clarity often not found in texts offering only a purely physical point of view.

This self-contained text presents quantum mechanics from the point of view of some computational examples with a mixture of mathematical clarity often not found in texts offering only a purely physical point of view. Emphasis is placed on the systematic application of the Nikiforov-- Uvarov theory of generalized hypergeometric differential equations to solve the Schr"dinger equation and to obtain the quantization of energies from a single unified point of view.

". . . a number of interesting and classical applications (some involving detailed computations) are included. Most of the book is dedicated to covering the traditional material but there are also some innovations, both in the choice of topics and in the way they are presented. . . . overall, I shall say that this is a very good text that is welcome both from the conceptual and the operational points of view. The theoretical physics community should also find here a good source on the subject."
