Principles of Quantum Mechanics - Hans C. Ohanian - 0137127952

In summary, the conversation was about the search for a specific book, "Principles of Quantum Mechanics" by Hans C. Ohanian. A PDF copy was not found, but a different book, "Principles of Physics: From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics" by Jun Ni, was suggested as an alternative. However, the person seeking the book stated that it was too advanced for their level and they did not support illegal downloads. The conversation was then closed.

used $9 to $19 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0137127952/?tag=pfamazon01-20

but found this in pdf
Title: Principles of Physics: From Quantum Field Theory to Classical Mechanics
Series: Tsinghua Report and Review in Physics (Book 2)
Author: Jun Ni
Format: PDF
Hardcover: 444 pages

more logical . all the formulas are derived from the formulas before them. The formalisms are also kept self-contained. Most of the required mathematical tools are also given in the appendices.
