Introduction to Quantum Mechanics is an introduction to the powerand elegance of quantum mechanics. Assuming little in the way ofprior knowledge, quantum concepts are carefully and preciselypresented, and explored through numerous applications and problems.Some of the more challenging aspects that are essential for amodern appreciation of the subject have been included, but areintroduced and developed in the simplest way possible.
Undergraduates taking a first course on quantum mechanics will findthis text an invaluable introduction to the field and help preparethem for more advanced courses.
Introduction to Quantum Mechanics:
* Starts from basics, reviewing relevant concepts of classicalphysics where needed.
* Motivates by considering weird behaviour of quantumparticles.
* Presents mathematical arguments in their simplest form.
