Atomic Textbook about Perturbation Theory

AI Thread Summary
For learning about perturbation theory, particularly as it applies to helium and time-dependent scenarios, several quantum mechanics textbooks are recommended, as most cover this topic in detail. There is a request for clarification on specific concepts, such as the relationship between the variational method and perturbation theory. The user is currently utilizing Resnick's and Wolfgang's textbooks and seeks feedback on their effectiveness for understanding these advanced topics.

Hi

I was hoping someone could advise me on a textbook/platform where I can learn more about the perturbation theory applied to helium and the perturbation theory time depedant. Thanks

Almost every quantum mechanics textbook has a couple of chapters on perturbation theory. Are you looking for anything more specific?
 
@noir1993 Well there's a lot of things I still don't understand and don't even know if they're related, like if the varational method is used for a perturbated state, on which occasion we consider an event a perturbation to the system...
Currently I'm using Resnick's and Wolfgang's books. Do you reccomend them? Thanks

Thread 'Ashcroft and Mermin: revised edition'

Hi, I have notice that Ashcroft, Mermin and Wei worked at a revised edition of the original solid state physics book (here). The book, however, seems to be never available. I have also read that the reason is related to some disputes related to copyright. Do you have any further information about it? Did you have the opportunity to get your hands on this revised edition? I am really curious about it, also considering that I am planning to buy the book in the near future... Thanks!

Thread 'How is Jackson’s Electrodynamics taught during undergraduate?'

I’ve heard that in some countries (for example, Argentina), the curriculum is structured differently from the typical American program. In the U.S., students usually take a general physics course first, then move on to a textbook like Griffiths, and only encounter Jackson at the graduate level. In contrast, in those countries students go through a general physics course (such as Resnick-Halliday) and then proceed directly to Jackson. If the slower, more gradual approach is considered...
