Introduction to the graphical theory of angular momentum: case studies
Balcar, Ewald
Lovesey, Stephen W.
Application of quantum mechanics in physics and chemistry often entails manipulation and evaluation of sums and products of coupling coefficients for the theory of angular momentum. Challenges encountered in such work can be tamed bygraphical techniques that provide both the insight and analytical power. The book is the first step-by-step exposition of a graphical method grounded in established work. Copious exercises recover standard results but demonstrate thepower to go beyond.
