Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant inquires about the existence of free legal introductory quantum mechanics eBooks.
  • Another participant references a specific thread in the Math & Science Tutorials forum that lists various books, noting the abundance of options makes it challenging to identify quality materials.
  • A participant expresses gratitude for the suggestion to check the forum, indicating a lack of prior awareness of it.
  • One participant suggests conducting Google searches with specific file types to find PDFs of quantum mechanics books, assuming that as long as the materials are not being resold, they are likely legal.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the potential availability of free legal eBooks but do not reach a consensus on specific titles or sources.

Contextual Notes

There are assumptions regarding the legality of the materials found through suggested searches, and the discussion does not clarify which books are considered good or reputable.

Do any exist? If so, please point me to them.

Thanks.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Ahh thanks. For some reason I never thought of looking in that forum.

Thanks again.
 
I assume its legal, don't see how it couldn't be so long as you're not reselling them, but do some searches in google like:

Quantum Mechanics filetype:pdf
Quantum Physics filetype:pdf

it results in pdf's online, quite a few of them books, or books in progress, mostly from professors in universities.
