Introduction to Quantum Mechanics (2nd Edition)

This book first teaches learners how to do quantum mechanics, and then provides them with a more insightful discussion of what it means. Fundamental principles are covered, quantum theory presented, and special techniques developed for attacking realistic problems. The book's two-part coverage organizes topics under basic theory, and assembles an arsenal of approximation schemes with illustrative applications. more

This book is required for my quantum mechanics class. It's a good book but I recommend a supplementary book. Libof or something of the sort to help..

Explains QM

In my opinion D.J. Griffiths' text is the only text to explain that there is no time operator. This, as well as other sections, were also better explained than any other textbook on QM that I have attempted to read. If I ever teach a QM course this will be the text. (I have an MS in physics.)

Great Introductory Text

I used this book as an undergraduate and I found it to be a great introduction to the field of quantum mechanics. I took the class as a chemist with a strong math but weak physics background and found it easy to read and understand. I agree that it is not for those looking for an in depth...

Does NOT teach you how to do Quantum Mechanics

This book was required for an introductory course in physical chemistry that I took. In general, I'd say that this book far from ideal for such as chemistry course and may be better for physics course. Overall though, it was somewhat helpful to learn some key points about quantum mechanics. My...

A practical "how-to" introduction to Quantum Mechanics

I think Griffith is very practical in wanting students of his book to learn to "do physics." This is clearly reflected in how the book is organized. Griffith does not dwell on philosophical or historical background in the book. The book starts with the Schrodinger equation and proceeds from...

AWESOME, EASY to follow book

I used this book for a graduate-level material sciences quantum class and love it! It is detailed and easy to follow. It sure is not an advanced books but it covers well introductory to intermediate topics relevant to materials science and solid state chemistry. The only drawback is that none of...

Undergraduates, search no farther. Here is the BEST QM book.

As an incoming freshman into an undergraduate university, I have read a few books on quantum mechanics, particularly those by Liboff, Fitzpatrick, and Sakurai. For the absolute beginner in quantum mechanics, I must say that this is the best book that I have ever found. In all ways, it succeeds:-...

A good introduction

A very readable introduction to quantum mechanics. There really isn't much to say that hasn't been said in other reviews -- this book is really good and is a great resource for undergraduates learning quantum mechanics. Its only shortcoming lies in the fact that the power of the bra-ket...

The Best Introductory Text!

This book literally saved me in quantum mechanics. Between my professor's willingness to help introduce us students to many of the challenges faced by quantum theory today and this book's ability to quickly and painlessly explain many of the concepts behind QM I actually enjoyed learning this...

Good introductory text

This book will take you through the core topics on quantum mechanics. The text is well explained and easy to follow, the problems are doable. Be prepared for the maths though. Before reading this book I suggest to do groundwork on engineering maths comprising functions of a complex variable,...
