Thomas F. Jordan Books on Quantum mechanics

[malawi_glenn]

Hi you guys! I was wondering if any of you have any thoughts about these books by Thomas F. Jordan, from DOVER PUBLICATIONS

Linear Operators for Quantum Mechanics
ISBN10: 0486453294
ISBN13: 9780486453293


Quantum Mechanics in Simple Matrix Form
ISBN10: 0486445305
ISBN13: 9780486445304

Iam very bad at matrix representation of Quantum mechanics, and I will have my first real course on this subjectin a few weeks. The main book for the Course is Sakurai's Modern Quantum mechanics.

Cheers!

As a scientist with a background in quantum mechanics, I am familiar with Thomas F. Jordan's books on the subject. Both "Linear Operators for Quantum Mechanics" and "Quantum Mechanics in Simple Matrix Form" are valuable resources for understanding the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics.

Jordan's books are particularly useful for those who struggle with the matrix representation of quantum mechanics, as they provide clear and concise explanations of the concepts. They also offer a practical approach to applying linear operators in quantum mechanics, which is essential for understanding the behavior of particles at the quantum level.

I would highly recommend these books as supplementary material to Sakurai's "Modern Quantum Mechanics" for anyone looking to deepen their understanding of the subject. They are also great for self-study and can be a useful reference for students in their first course on quantum mechanics.

In summary, I believe Jordan's books are valuable resources for anyone looking to gain a thorough understanding of the mathematical foundations of quantum mechanics. I wish you the best of luck in your upcoming course and hope you find these books helpful in your studies.
