Introductory Quantum Mechanics A Traditional Approach Emphasizing Connections with Classical Physics
This book presents a basic introduction to quantum mechanics at the undergraduate level. Depending on the choice of topics, it can be used for a one-semester or two-semester course. An attempt has been made to anticipate the conceptual problems students encounter when they first study quantum mechan...
