User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: From the Back Cover This text on atomic structure is intermediate in level between purely introductory general texts on ‘modern physics’ and advanced specialized treatises. It is short enough to be read in the time normally devoted to atomic structure in physics degree courses. Throughout the book real-life examples from atomic spectroscopy are discussed alongside the exposition of the theory, both to give a feeling for orders of magnitude and to impart a real understanding of the application of elementary quantum mechanics.

⭐This book so intractable, I don’t see how you can understand it unless you are the crack addict that taught this guy how to write textbooks in the first place. This book Presupposes that you have a PhD before you read it. I don’t. I am attempting to get mine. It is incredibly difficult when woodgate just spouts things off rediculously. The circus of confusion starts when he begins to define the energy of photons in terms of inverse centimeters. While it is quite clear why you COULD do this, it has never been made clear to me why you WOULD do this. And why does woodgate have an aversion to using eV? He relies on Kelvin a lot. If you intend to use this book, be sure you have GRADUATE Stat/Mech or Stat Thermo FIRST. A full GRADUATE treatment of quantum mechanics is also a MUST. Don’t even attempt to pick up this deceptively light book until then. You simply can’t teach yourself anything out of this book. For example he tells you that you need to take the norm of the J+J- Matrix for part of one of his many derivations. That’s all well and good and if you are an AMO physicist, it is probably quite clear to you what he is talking about, but according to all my linear algebra textbooks, the “norm” is one of the most poorly defined words there is. If it’s a vector, then it could be the length. If it’s a matrix it’s any positive number associated with the matrix that has one of six or so properties…..so how are you suppossed to figure out which one he’s talking about? A brief comment would have helped here…but then the book would be 800 pages if it were properly annotated. In short this book sucks.

⭐Excellent text on Atomic spectroscopy-written by an expert.
