Is Itzhak Bars' Book on Quantum Mechanics Worth the 10.25 MB Download?

QM books that may be more comprehensive and well-written, such as Gallindo and Pascual, Manoukian and Ballentine. While Bars' book may have interesting sections on symmetries and angular momentum, it is missing three advanced QM chapters. However, it can still be a useful resource for learning undergraduate QM. In summary, Itzhak Bars' book on QM has potential, but it is important to note that it is missing three advanced chapters and there are other well-written QM books available.

You've given a link to an incomplete document. Even if the book was complete, i still think Gallindo and Pascual, Manoukian and Ballentine have written better books.

But you can't download them from the web for free, without violating copyright, can you? :rolleyes:

What use would it do, if what you download is not complete ?

I like the symmetries and angular momentum treatment in Bars, nevertheless...

i still think you can learn from this quite a bit.
the three chapters that are missing there, are chapters of advanced QM.
so you still can learn the undergraduate QM from this text.
