That book's been on my reading list for some time. One reason, although not a major one, is because of the complex numbers stuff. I presume something else must be used to accommodate the extra degrees of freedom that complex numbers gives, either via multiple simultaneous equations, or perhaps...

Thanks very much. I'd never heard of viXra. I'll certainly look at it. You may be right about the complex numbers. The only reason I wanted to include that was because it was one of the aspects of QM that was a barrier to me making any progress for a long time. The reasoning I included in my...

That's a very interesting web page, and I'm going to go back and read it in more detail, but my aims are much more elementary even than that. I'm just trying to make the postulates seem plausible, not actually formally derive them. Basically I take simple examples of a random variable (throw of...

Thanks for that, but I should have explained, the notes are only 20 pages long, are intentionally informal and intended as a little extra material to read alongside a conventional QM course. I don't think Springer, CUP/OUP would be interested. I was thinking more of a website that might accept them?

I've struggled to understand quantum mechanics for many years. I've recently written some notes on the subject that address some of the issues that I've found confusing and that I think might be helpful to others. The moderators on Physics Forums, quite reasonably, won't allow me to publicise...
