Supersymmetry in quantum mechanics / Fred Cooper, Avinash Khare, Uday Sukhatme.

This invaluable book provides an elementary description of supersymmetric quantum mechanics which complements the traditional coverage found in the existing quantum mechanics textbooks. It gives physicists a fresh outlook and new ways of handling quantum-mechanical problems, and also leads to improv...
