Product Description
Product Description
This book gives a modern, comprehensive introduction to the principles of quantum mechanics, to the main approximation methods and to the application of quantum theory to a wide variety of systems. The needs of students having an average mathematical ability are kept very much in mind, with the avoidance of complex mathematical arguments and any undue compression of material

Format:Paperback
This text book is an excellent and thorough undergraduate introduction in Quantum Mechanics. It is well written and contains a lot of examples. The mathematics is sometimes at a high level but never too abstract.
The second edition contains even a brief discussion of the Feynman Path Integral formulation, an extra chapter about relativistic QM and extensions in QM Interpretation. This makes the introduction complete.
Why not five stars? Because I believe that even an undergraduate book should contain some elements about Hilbert space and the very important spectral theorem. It is a little pity that the authors do not mention these subjects at all.
But apart from this remark, the book is really excellent.

Format:Paperback
This text book is the perfect companion for a physics undergraduate for all of their needs of the first three years of their degree. It comprehensively covers all of the necessary material from the basics right through to the more complicated theorems found in finals. In my opinion, it has been one of the most useful books I have used as an undergrad and would certainly be my first port of call for any problems I have in quantum mechanics. The only (very slight) downside is that it uses Dirac notation throughout and I am aware that this is not standard for introductory courses in quantum. Other than that, pretty flawless. And its large enough to lay out any unwelcome guests during the night should you have it to hand.

Quantum mechanics can be very difficult subject to learn and it can be made even more so because many of the books out there are not so good.
This book avoids many of the usual pitfalls of other books on quantum. In doing so the authors have produced a solid work that makes a good foundation for learning the subject.

perhaps the best !!!
I have seen many texts for my QM examination ,and in my opinion it has resulted the most useful,be sure You must buy it,even if QM is so a large
