The Fundamental Principles of Quantum Mechanics: With Elementary Applications by Edwin C. Kemble
Hailed by Linus Pauling as "excellent," this graduate-level treatment interweaves applications of the theory with development of the basic mathematical structure. Topics include wave packets, one-dimensional energy-level problems, orthogonal functions, the two-particle central-field problem, the many-particle problem, and much more. 1937 edition. Unabridged republication of the edition published by McGraw-Hill, New York, 1937.
