Opis

This popular undergraduate quantum mechanics textbook adopts a novel and intuitive approach to teaching quantum mechanics.

Recenzje

'McIntyre's spins-first quantum mechanics textbook provides a solid foundation for instructors looking to provide a thoroughly modern approach to the subject. A course based on this text will provide an excellent framework for future study at the graduate level and beyond.' Chandralekha Singh, Distinguished Professor of Physics, University of Pittsburgh, and past President, American Association of Physics Teachers
