Principles of Quantum Mechanics Paperback – 6 Dec. 2013

Well, what can I say? I bought the book for my son who is a 2nd year Masters degree student studying Physics at Manchester University, and while this book is way beyond me,he reckons it is just what he needs and can't do without it.It is cheaper at Amazon that the specialist bookshops too! so he's really happy with it.(Update 23 Oct 2014) Well, as the person using this book got a 1st and has gone on to start his Doctorate in Nuclear Physics, so the content has served him well.

The book itself is very good, first chapter builds the mathematical preliminaries, the next two chapters motivated quantum mechanics (from a historical context), this is where I am at. As for the book itself it arrived within a week of ordering in VERY good condition, like new really. I am very happy with this purchase.

One of the best textbooks I have ever read. While I have yet to complete the book, the explanations are very detailed and the contents go way beyond what my uni teaches (at least for a 3rd year physics undergrad).The mathematics is rather rigorous and the author's writing style is easy to understand. Love it.

Functions only to turn pages, goto page numbers, return to reading page or beginning. Scrolling/page-turning difficult to control. Seems to sync devices and +/- size ok.Chat rep tried to be helpful and will refer to techs. Refunded and resold to no avail. Looked like just a load of page scans. Not hopeful so just refunded and spent money on a pdf from Springer. Shame to treat a good reference book like this.

Extremely well written. You will need to be grounded in classical mechanics and have a reasonable grounding in undergrad mathematics to benefit from the book, it is aimed at "all" levels but clearly requires you to come prepared. All the necessary mathematics is covered in this book, as well as revision of key concepts from classical mechanics (Hamiltonian etc.).

As someone with a post graduate in Mathematics I wanted a technical book to teach the basics of QM. This book is just that; an excellent introduction to a fascinating subject.

Not yet arrived. But I loved Shankars Vol I,II on the fundamentals. So I give this 5* on the complete confidence Shankar won't let me down.

This is completly unreadable on my Kindle. The text looks like a very bad photocopy. I have asked for a refund.
