This book provides a comprehensive treatment of quantum mechanics from a mathematics perspective and is accessible to mathematicians starting with second-year graduate students. In addition to traditional topics, like classical mechanics, mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics, quantization, and the Schrodinger equation, this book gives a mathematical treatment of systems of identical particles with spin, and it introduces the reader to functional methods in quantum mechanics. This includes the Feynman path integral approach to quantum mechanics, integration in functional spaces, the relation between Feynman and Wiener integrals, Gaussian integration and regularized determinants of differential operators, fermion systems and integration over anticommuting (Grassmann) variables, supersymmetry and localization in loop spaces, and supersymmetric derivation of the Atiyah-Singer formula for the index of the Dirac operator. Prior to this book, mathematicians could find these topics...

Occupational Therapy and Life Course Development relates the various aspects of life course theory to occupational therapy practice, emphasizing the life course as an organizing framework. Each section demonstrates a theory, shows how it can be applied to practice, and gives the reader an opportunity to experiment with the theory in the light of their own occupational therapy practice. In each section activities related to OT practice are included, followed by discussion questions, a summary of key points, and case studies.
