This invaluable book provides an elementary description of supersymmetric
quantum mechanics which complements the traditional coverage found in the
existing quantum mechanics textbooks. It gives physicists a fresh outlook
and new ways of handling quantum-mechanical problems, and also leads to
improved approximation techniques for dealing with potentials of interest
in all branches of physics. The algebraic approach to obtaining eigenstates
is elegant and important, and all physicists should become familiar with this.
The book has been written in such a way that it can be easily appreciated
by students in advanced undergraduate quantum mechanics courses. Problems
have been given at the end of each chapter, along with complete solutions
to all the problems. The text also includes material of interest in current
research not usually discussed in traditional courses on quantum mechanics,
such as the connection between exact solutions to classical soliton problems
and isospectral quantum Hamiltonians, and the relation to the inverse
scattering problem.
