Reviews
From the reviews:
“This book addresses undergraduate and graduate physics students, as well as young scientists in physics and applied mathematics who are interested in the theory of relativistic quantum mechanics in the ‘narrow sense’ and its connections to quantum field theories. The notions presented in the book are clearly arranged and each section contains a short summary and exercises with solutions. Important equations and relationships are summarized in boxes to allow the reader a well-structured understanding and easy reference.” (Philosophy, Religion and Science Book Reviews, bookinspections.wordpress.com, March, 2014)
“The main focus of this book is the extent to which relativistic quantum mechanics can be applied. … This textbook is written very clearly … . a valuable asset for teaching purposes. Its main value is the detailed discussion of relativistic corrections to non-relativistic problems in quantum mechanics, which could be very useful for anyone interested in such contributions. … the book is equally well suited as a basis for lectures, for self-study, or as a reference work for active research.” (Axel Maas, Mathematical Reviews, Issue 2011 m)
