Descrizione del libro

This study, originally two volumes, covers both the classical aspects of vibration and the quantum oscillator. Part I discusses both linear and nonlinear vibrations. Part II looks at quantum systems, concentrating on vibrations in atoms and molecules and their interaction with electromagnetic radiation. The similarities of classical and quantum methods are stressed.
