Hi,

I tried to post this in the learning material section but was denied.

Anyway, I am looking for a Quantum Mechanics book written by a Polish author.

Clearly, I have no clue about the Author name, I only remember that he is Polish (from Poland).

Hopefully, there will be only a few QM books written by Polish authors, so if anyone know any such a book please tell me.

Thanks!

Thanks tiny-tim,

Your method works if the Book is written in Polish...but the book I want is written in English, only the Author is Polish.

hmmm...I will check and tell you if it is the one, but my book is old (first edition is around 1960) but let's see...

Yes, I think it is Wojciech Rubinowicz book.

But it is out of print and not available either in my university :(

You should be able to get the book through inter-library loan.
 
Thanks all for that help, I will try inter-library loan and will consult our library right now.

I am in a SUNY university.
