Opis

Quantum mechanics is notoriously difficult to understand for students with no prior knowledge of quantum theory. This book provides an introduction to quantum mechanics. It includes examples and exercise sets that help students to master the subject.

Recenzje

"…a very useful, readable, and relatively inexpensive technical introduction to the subject."
-Roger Penrose, THES

"I do not know of anyone who has put the essence of quantum mechanics more clearly, more understandable, more soundly, and more compactly than Professor Davis."
-Professor J.A. Wheeler, University of Texas at Austin
