Product Description

Product Description
Fun format makes this complex subject easy to grasp solutions to typical problems that are explained in full detail. It is perfect for self-study or class supplement. It is great for quick review or help prepare for the Physics qualifying exam. Learn quantum mechanics at warp speed! Now anyone can master the basics of quantum mechanics - without formal training, unlimited time, or a genius IQ. In "Quantum Mechanics Demystified", physicist (and student-savvy author) David McMahon provides an effective and illuminating way to learn the essentials of quantum mechanics.With "Quantum Mechanics Demystified", you master the subject one step at a time - at your own speed. This unique self-teaching guide is filled with solved examples throughout, and offers problems to try at the end of each chapter to pinpoint weaknesses. A final exam serves to reinforce concepts covered in the entire book. This fast and entertaining self-teaching course makes it much easier to - master serious quantum mechanics in easy-to-follow steps.This book cuts through the jargon and learn how to do quantum mechanics using worked examples. It helps reinforce learning and pinpoint weaknesses with questions at the end of each chapter and a comprehensive final exam. Learn about Schrodinger's equation, one dimensional scattering, Hilbert space, and the density operator. Find extensive explanations of spin and angular momentum, vector spaces, matrix mechanics, the harmonic oscillator, and the hydrogen atom. Perform better on qualifying or placement exams. Take a 'final exam' and grade it yourself! Clear enough for beginners, but challenging enough for those who already know something about advanced physics, "Quantum Mechanics Demystified" is the best self-teaching tool you can find!

3.0 out of 5 stars Errors demystified, 15 Dec 2006
By Physics Undergraduate (Quebec, Canada) - See all my reviews
Cons: The book lacks mathematical rigor. Too many important formulas and concepts are not derived from first principle. Also, the number of errors/typos in this book largely outnumber the cumulative of errors/typos in all my undergraduate books. I often found the emphasis was not done on the right things, mostly when it came to solve mathematical problems. The author solves them line by line but gives way too much details on simple algebra while rarely providing a detailed analysis of the result itself.

Pros: good for quick review or to initiate yourself to the subject. Provides answers to many typical quantum mechanical problems. I would definitely recommend using a reference book along with "Quantum Physics Demystified".

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent hands on practise in QM, 10 Nov 2006
Despite the large number of typographical errors ( which could be off putting for some) this is the first blow-by-blow hands on theory-example-solution(fully worked) approach to learning QM and I thoroughly recommend it for self study or as preparation for a more detailed study from the 'standard' texts on QM.
I really think this is a significant addition to texts on QM and if you do all the problems yourself before reading the solutions it could serve as a very powerful learning tool in this otherwise very challenging subject. For more on the full physical significance I guess further reading would be necessary as it has predominantly a mathematical approach. Great stuff......
I'd like more in this series!

3.0 out of 5 stars Quantum physics demystified, 7 Sep 2007
By R. Hendry (glasgow) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Buyers beware that this is not a popular science book but rather one for the already mathematically competant. The title and zany cover could be misleading.

4.0 out of 5 stars Delightfully tasty reading
This is an excellent book: well writen, easy to understand-but it could do with more examples.More explanations are needed as to the applications of certain formulae. Read more
