Description
This is the second edition of the author's very successful book written for students of physics, mathematics, and theoretical chemistry in their second and third years, who have not previously studied quantum mechanics. It provides an elementary introduction to the subject, with the emphasis on concepts and the mathematics kept to a minimum.
The text is clearly written and leaves the reader with a good idea of how to use quantum mechanics himself. There are good summaries at the end of each chapter and the problems given are instructive. The book has been welcomed for its combination of elementary comprehensibility and emphasis on what really matters. The scope is broad and this, combined with the author's clarity and readability, will commend it to all students of the subject.
