A great first course text
| Customer Rating: | | I ordered this book as it was the recommended text for my course, it gives simple and clear coverage of all aspects of my course and thus I'm guessing most second year quantum physics courses, for the price its a steal and highly recommended. |
The lawyers got at it!
| Customer Rating: | I own a 3rd edition of this book. Its coverage of introductory QM is excellent and the explanations are clear. What is missing in the latest edition is the set of pithy reviews of other texts that Rae recommends- hence my comment in the title.
The chapter on relativistic equations -Dirac -lacks perspective and does not take one through the discussion of its explanation of the fine structure of the hydrogen spectrum. For this one needs the chapter of Schiff's text QM "relativistic wave equations". |
An Enjoyable text
| Customer Rating: | | This is an informative and enjoyable book which does a good job of introducing the reader to the elegance of quantum mechanics. It is concise and digestible with a good development of the topic from fundamental principles upwards. I think that the previous comment about functional analysis somewhat misses the point that this aims to be an introductory text. Infact I would say that it makes a good precursor to this topic and other more advanced ones. |
Great book, new edition, 4th is out with more
| Customer Rating: | | This book is one the best quantum mechanics textbooks available. It is clear, smart and conceptually deep. It also covers the latest (in the 4th edition) on quantum computation and the debate on the foundations of quantum mechanics. I highly recommend it. |
A brilliant book with updated material
| Customer Rating: | | This book is not only fun to read, but contains the latest material on quantum computation, quantum teleportation, and the debate over the concepts of quantum mechanics. The text is clear and sharp. Written for undergraduate students, it can be read by anybody with college math (calculus, etc.). The beauty of quantum mechanics as exposed here will certainly make sure that you will read it nearly cover to cover. |
