Written specifically for electronic and mechanical engineers and students, this book takes quantum mechanics out of the theory books and into the real world, using practical engineering examples throughout. Levi's unique approach engages the reader and keeps them motivated with numerous illustrations, exercises and worked solutions. Includes MATLAB examples on CD-ROM.
