I want to self study quantum mechanics so that I can apply it in both physics and chemistry. However I don't want one written for a layman without any mathematical equations.
I want one book that will cover everything that will be taught in an introductory undergrad quantum physics course(and even more if possible!). I have heard a lot about Griffith's but I am running low on my pocket money(and won't be getting more any time soon) so I had the following books in mind.
Pauling-An Introduction to Quantum Mechanics with Applications in Chemistry
Feynman-Lectures on Physics vol. 3
Feynman-Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals
David Bohm-Quantum Theory(Dover Books on Physics)
Gasiorowicz – Quantum Physics
French, Taylor – An Introduction to Quantum Physics
Eisberg, Resnick – Quantum Physics of Atoms, Molecules, Solids, Nuclei and Particles
I would be buying Feynman lectures on physics vol.3 anyway.
But apart from that, I want a proper quantum physics book. I am guessing mostly I would like to buy French's version since it was tailored for an MIT introductory course and I have seen that the course itself is pretty awesome.
I don't think Feynman's one on path integrals is a proper introductory book as it is more of an introduction to path integrals rather than quantum mechanics.
Mostly I am leaning towards the book by French and Taylor.Is the decision good or should I go for something else?
