Vibrational Spectra and Structure of Polyatomic Molecules is a comprehensive textbook written by Ta You Wu that covers the principles of molecular vibrational spectroscopy and their application to the study of polyatomic molecules. The book is divided into three parts, with the first part introducing the basic principles of molecular vibrations, including the harmonic oscillator model and the anharmonic effects. The second part covers the experimental techniques used to obtain vibrational spectra, including infrared and Raman spectroscopy, as well as the interpretation of these spectra in terms of molecular structure and bonding. The final part of the book focuses on the application of vibrational spectroscopy to the study of specific classes of polyatomic molecules, including diatomic molecules, triatomic molecules, and larger molecules such as hydrocarbons and proteins. The book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemistry, physics, and related fields, and is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the study of molecular structure and spectroscopy.

The book ""Quantum Theory of Scattering"" by Ta-You Wu is a comprehensive guide to the principles and applications of quantum scattering theory. The book covers the fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics, including wave-particle duality, wave functions, and the Schr������dinger equation, and then proceeds to explore the theory of scattering, which involves the interaction of particles with each other or with a potential field. The book provides a detailed description of the scattering process, including the scattering amplitude, cross section, and phase shift, and discusses the various types of scattering, such as elastic and inelastic scattering, resonance scattering, and scattering from a potential. The book also covers the scattering of particles by electromagnetic fields, as well as the scattering of particles by nuclei. Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples and exercises to help readers understand the concepts and apply them to real-world problems. The book is suitable for undergraduate and graduate students in physics, as well as researchers and professionals in the field of quantum mechanics and scattering theory. Overall, ""Quantum Theory of Scattering"" is an essential resource for anyone interested in understanding the principles and applications of quantum mechanics and scattering theory.

A sequel to the well received book, Quantum Mechanics by T Y Wu, this book carries on where the earlier volume ends. This present volume follows the generally pedagogic style of Quantum Mechanics. The scope ranges from relativistic quantum mechanics to an introduction to quantum field theory with quantum electrodynamics as the basic example and ends with an exposition of important issues related to the standard model. The book presents the subject in basic and easy-to-grasp notions which will enhance the purpose of this book as a useful textbook in the area of relativistic quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics.

This book is a distillation of Prof T Y Wu's fifty years of experience teaching quantum theory to many generations of physicists. Starting with chapters on classical physics and the old quantum theory, Prof Wu quickly develops Heisenberg's matrix mechanics and the Schroedinger equation. After a detailed treatment of the general formulation of quantum theory, standard discussions on Perturbation Theory and the Hydrogen Atom follow. A fairly exhaustive treatment of the Zeeman effect is to be found in these chapter. Many electron atoms are treated expertly. The former is treated with great depth; the latter is a good introduction to the subject.
