Quantum Mechanics: An Introduction (Essentials of Physics Series)

This book is an introduction to quantum mechanics for undergraduates and interested lay persons. The presentation is both reader-friendly and complete. The first four chapters cover the conceptual and philosophical aspects of quantum mechanics, before the next eleven chapters gently present the mathematics underlying the subject. After a chapter on the history of the theory, the whole of quantum mechanics is then presented. This is followed by applications of the theory and a revision chapter, before we briefly look ahead at relativistic quantum theory.

這本書是為大學生和對量子力學感興趣的非專業讀者介紹量子力學的入門書。本書的呈現方式既友善又完整。前四章涵蓋了量子力學的概念和哲學方面，接下來的十一章則輕鬆介紹了該主題的數學基礎。在介紹理論的歷史之後，整個量子力學被呈現出來。接著是該理論的應用和一個複習章節，然後我們簡要展望相對論量子理論的未來。
