Interactive Quantum Mechanics

Interactive Quantum Mechanics under Java presents the most up-to-date approach to elementary quantum mechanics. Based on the interactive program INTERQUANTA (included on a CD-ROM and ready to run under the WINDOWS, LINUX and MACINTOSH operating systems) and its extensive 3D color graphic features, t...
