Nuclear Models and the Search for Unity in Nuclear Physics - Softcover

Based on a popular series of lectures given by the author at the University of Bergen, Norway, in 1979-80, this book provides a concise survey of the historical background to the search for unity in nuclear physics, and describes in some depth the relevant concepts and mathematical techniques. Technical details are kept to a minimum, making this volume accessible to nonspecialists as well as to students and researchers in mathematics and physics.
