![]() The author has a tendency to skip steps and go straight to results, then expects the student to be able to perform all the steps in the homework. Overall it is a well put together book, though it could use slightly more detailed examples. The math interludes are helpful, they allow one to have a brief period to focus on just the mathematics required to solve problems, instead of having to learn the math and physics simultaneous This was my Quantum Mechanics text book in the Spring 2010 semester. This was my Quantum Mechanics text book in the Spring 2010 semester. ![]() The Origins of Quantum Mechanics, The Problem with Blackbody Radiation, Math Interlude A: Complex Numbers and Linear Operators, The Schrodinger Equation, One-Dimensional Time-Independent, Math Interlude B: Linear Algebra, The Three-Dimensional Time-Independent, Math Interlude C: Matrices, Dirac Notation, and the Dirac Delta Function, Spin Angular Momentum, Time-Independent Perturbation Theory, The Variational Principle, Time-Dependent Perturbation Theory, Scattering Theory, The Multiparticle Schrodinger Equation, Some Modern Applications of Quantum Mechanics, What Comes Next? Relativistic Quantum Mechanics KEY MARKET For all readers interested in quantum mechanics.' Let me start this review with a disclaimer - my first Quantum Mechanics was Sakurai. Scherrer carefully develops a solid foundation by recapping on the required math and other basic concepts before developing all the major more advanced topics. "About this title" may belong to another edition of this title.The Origins of Quantum Mechanics, The Problem with Blackbody Radiation, Math Interlude A: KEY BENEFIT Robert Scherrer's text provides a uniquely accessible and thorough introduction to quantum mechanics for readers. He lives in Nashville, Tennessee with his wife and five children. Scherrer’s own research is in the area of theoretical cosmology, including the physics of the early universe, dark matter and dark energy, and the large-scale structure of the universe. His teaching philosophy follows the advice of Hippocrates: “First, do no harm.” He believes that most physics students come to study physics because they find it interesting, and it is the teacher’s job to maintain that interest while navigating the sometimes-difficult subject matter. While a professor at Ohio State, Scherrer received the Alumni Award for Distinguished Teaching. in physics from Princeton University, spent two years at Cambridge University on a Marshall Scholarship, and then received his Ph.D. ![]() Robert Scherrer is Chair of the Department of Physics and Astronomy at Vanderbilt University, where he arrived in 2003 following 15 years as a professor of physics at Ohio State University.
