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 'List of STEM Masterworks: THE SUMMARY'

This thread only works as a summary from the original source: List of STEM Masterworks in Physics, Mechanics, Electrodynamics... The original thread got very long and somewhat hard to read so I have compiled the recommendations from that thread in an online (Google Drive) spreadsheet. SUMMARY Permits are granted so you can make comments on the spreadsheet but I'll initially be the only one capable of edition. This is to avoid the possibility of someone deleting everything either by mistake...

Thread 'Hassani's books on Mathematical Physics/Methods'

By looking around, it seems like Dr. Hassani's books are great for studying "mathematical methods for the physicist/engineer." One is for the beginner physicist [Mathematical Methods: For Students of Physics and Related Fields] and the other is [Mathematical Physics: A Modern Introduction to Its Foundations] for the advanced undergraduate / grad student. I'm a sophomore undergrad and I have taken up the standard calculus sequence (~3sems) and ODEs. I want to self study ahead in mathematics...
