Product Description
Review
"Although this is an introductory text, some quite sophisticated concepts are discussed....In summary, this text gives undergraduate mathematics majors an excellent opportunity to see how their linear and abstract algebra and differential equations courses can be applied to modern physics."--Mathematical Reviews
Product Description
This book provides an introduction to quantum theory primarily for students of mathematics. Although the approach is mainly traditional the discussion exploits ideas of linear algebra, and points out some of the mathematical subtleties of the theory. Amongst the less traditional topics are Bell's inequalities, coherent and squeezed states, and introductions to group representation theory. Later chapters discuss relativistic wave equations and elementary particle symmetries from a group theoretical standpoint rather than the customary Lie algebraic approach. This book is intended for the later years of an undergraduate course or for graduates. It assumes a knowledge of basic linear algebra and elementary group theory, though for convenience these are also summarized in an appendix.

First Sentence
In the first quarter of this century physicists were slowly and somewhat reluctantly forced to realize that the view of the physical world, so painstakingly built up over the preceding four centuries, was in serious need of revision. Read the first page

Great book, but not an introduction.
21 April 2000
Format:Hardcover
This book is very readable if you have some knoledge about quantum mechanics. It shows how to calculate things using the theory but does not explain the physical part in much detail.
It makes a good companion to the Feynman book where you have the physics greatly explained but little mathematical detail.
If you are new tho the subject look somewhere else first. If you want to know how to get results from the theory this is the book.
